    The document traces the development of the microscope and the cell theory. Robert Hooke discovered cells using early microscopes in the 17th century. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe live cells in 1665. Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann established in the 1830s-40s that plants and animals are composed of cells. Rudolph Virchow later discovered that cells only arise from pre-existing cells, completing the cell theory.

    Cell Theory

    Tenets:
    • All living organisms are
    made up of one or more
    cells.
    • Cells comprise the
    smallest functional unit
    of life.
    • Cells come only from
    pre-existing cells.
