1 Jan 1665 Jahr - Robert Hooke discoveres plant cell

Beschreibung:

Hooke had discovered plant cells -- more precisely, what Hooke saw were the cell walls in cork tissue. In fact, it was Hooke who coined the term "cells": the boxlike cells of cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery. Hooke also reported seeing similar structures in wood and in other plants.
(The portrait of Robert Hooke is missing therefore we don't know how he actually looked like.)
