Robert Hooke - 17th-century scientist and architect and was known for single-handedly being the greatest experimental scientist. He is best known for discovering cells and for his law of elasticity. In 1665 Robert Hooke discovered cells by looking at cork through a microscope and seeing tiny box-like structures. He named these structures "cells" because they reminded him of the cells in monasteries.Hans and Zacharias Jansen- were father and son who were known for inventing the compound microscope (the microscope with eyes piece and objective lens) around 1590. And the compound microscope was very beneficial in observing cells.When Hans and Zacharias Janssen compound microscope got popular in the Netherlands.A Dutch man who was a self-taught scientist and was known as “the father of microbiology” He made a ground-breaking discovery in biology and microbiology. The discovery was the first to observe and describe microorganisms, which he called "animalcules". In 1674 He discovered bacteria, protozoa, and yeast; And in 1668 he also he made his own single-lens microscopes which led to that invention. He also made some discoveries about animal reproduction, plant anatomy, and blood cells.Matthias Schleiden - was co-founder of the cell theory along with Theodor Schwann and Rudolf Virchow. They came to the conclusion that the cell theory is all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells.Theodor Schwann - was known for his role in the cell theory and his role consisted of 1838 the extension of cell theory in the category of animals. Which included the Central idea (All living things are made up of cells), Collaboration with Schleiden (where Schleiden focused on plant cells and Schwann on animal cells), and Historical significance (Schwann's research helped to solidify the understanding that cells are the fundamental building blocks of life).regarded as the greatest pathologist of all time. Virchow's greatest accomplishment was his observation that a whole organism does not get sick—only certain cells or groups of cells. In 1855, at the age of 34, he published his now famous aphorism “omnis cellula e cellula” (“every cell stems from another cell”).
