Han & Zacharias Janssen 1595 | They made the first microscope by placing 2 lenses in
atube.
Robert Hooke
1665
He studied many objects in his primitive compound
microscope and published a book of it.
| Anton van Leeuwenhoek
1680
He described cells in a drop of pond water usinga
simple microscope with only one extremely good lens
to lookon the blood, insects, and many more. He was
describing about the cells and bacteria.
He made his own fine quality lens for use in monocular
microscope.
Matthias Schleiden
| Theodor Schwann
1838
1839
He was stating that the cell isthe basic building block
of ll plants matter because the tissues are composed
of cells. An embryonic plant arose from a single cel.
He was stating that the animal and plant cells have
different structures. The tissues are made of cells.1665 -- Robert Heoke

of cork through
