Meet the Scientists Developing the Cell Theory
What is a cell?
• The cell is a basic building block of living things, both plant and animal.
All living things have cells.
• Plants • Animals
Cell Theory
• All organisms are composed (made up of) cells.
Tool used to view cells
Timeline - 1590
• Hans and Zacharias Janssen (1590), Dutch glasses makers, father and son. Produced first compound microscope (2 lenses).
1590
Hans & Zacahrias Janssen
Produced 1st compound microscope
Timeline- 1665
• Robert Hooke (1665), English Father of Microscopy, looked at a thin slice of cork through a compound microscope and observed tiny, hollow room like structures. He called them cells, but only saw the outer cell walls because the cork cells were not alive.

Discovered animals are
made of cells
Stated living cells come from other
living cells
CELL THEORY
• Based on the findings of Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow
• All life forms are made from one or more cells
• Cells can only be made from other cells
• The cell is the smallest form of life
