    The document discusses the development of cell theory and the role of microscopy. It describes how early microscopes were invented in the late 16th century. Key figures like Hooke, Van Leeuwenhoek, Brown, Schleiden, and Schwann made important discoveries when viewing cells under early microscopes. Their findings led to the accepted three main points of cell theory: 1) all living things are made of one or more cells, 2) the cell is the basic unit of life, and 3) new cells are produced from existing cells. The microscope played a crucial role in these discoveries and the establishment of cell theory.

    UNIT 1

    THE WORLD OF CELL


    Cell Theory and Microscopy
    LEARNING OUTCOMES
    In this module, you will be able to:
    1. Explain the postulates of the cell theory.
    2. Explain the role of the microscope in the
    development of cell biology

    A Dutch father-son team


    named Hans and Zacharias
    Janssen invented the first
    so-called compound
    microscope in the late 16th
    century (1590) when they
    discovered that, if they put a
    lens at the top and bottom
    of a tube and looked
    through it, objects on the
    other end became
    magnified.
    ROBERT HOOKE
    1665
    English Father of Microscopy
    Micrographia
    cella - tiny rooms
    Anton Van Leeuwenhoek

    MATTHIAS SCHLEIDEN
    1838
    German Botanist
    All plants are made
    up of cells
    THEODOR SCHWANN
    1839
    German Botanist
    All animals are made
    up of cells
    RUDOLPH VIRCHOW
    1858
    German Physician
    Cells came from pre-
    existing cells
    1 MATTHIAS SCHLEIDEN
    ALL PLANTS ARE COMPOSED OF CELLS

    2 THEODOR SCHWANN
    ALL ANIMALS ARE MADE UP OF CELLS

    3 RUDOLPH VIRCHOW
    CELLS CAME FROM PRE-EXISTING CELLS
    CELL THEORY
    1 CELLS COMPRISE THE SMALLEST FUNCTIONAL
    UNIT OF LIFE

    2 ALL LIVING ORGANISMS ARE MADE UP OF ONE


    OR MORE CELLS

    3 CELLS COME ONLY FROM PRE-EXISTING CELLS


    hence, the cell is considered as
    the basic unit of life.
    cells can be a:
    prokaryotic cell
    eukaryotic cell
    organisms can be:
    unicellular
    multicellular

    MICROSCOPY
    is the technical field of using microscopes to
    view samples & objects that cannot be seen
    with the unaided eye (objects that are not
    within the resolution range of the normal eye).
