to look in to a slice of cork
Robert Hooke observed that a slice of cork appeared to be made up of small rectangular compartments, which he called "cells." These cells gave cork a honeycomb-like structure, which led to the discovery of cells as the basic building blocks of living organisms.
a thin slice of cork and microscope
it was like amazing to him
slice off the top of the cork and use a corkscrew to pull out the remainder, however if the cork is crumbling, push the remainder into the bottle and use a strainer to catch the bits. Not elegant but who knows when it is in the glass
cork slice under a microscope in 1665. He named them "cells" due to their resemblance to small rooms or monk cells. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of cytology.
Robert Hooke coined the term cell for biological organisms. While looking at slices of cork through a microscope, he noticed how similar they units making up the cork looked to monks' cells.
Robert Hooke in 1665 found microscopic spots contained within a slice of cork. He called these spots cells.
In 1663, Hooke observed the structure of a thin slice of cork using a compound microscope he had built himself. Cork, the bark of an oak tree, is made up of cells that are no longer alive. To Hooke, the cork looked like tiny rectangular rooms, which he called cells.
Robert Hooke observed the dead cells of the cork tree when he looked at a thin slice of cork under his microscope in 1665. This led to the first documented observation of cells in plant tissue, which he described as "cells" due to their resemblance to the cells in a monastery's living quarters.
The first specimen to be placed under the microscope was likely a thin slice of cork viewed by Robert Hooke in the 17th century. This led to the discovery of "cells" and marked the beginning of modern microscopy.
Robert Hooke is credited with being the first scientist to see cells in 1665 through a microscope. He observed the cells in a thin slice of cork and named them "cells" due to their resemblance to the small rooms monks lived in.
