- Whoaa!! Its really amazing!
- Yuh right! I could stay here all day looking to small particles through this stuffs.
- Alright! Let me do it myself.
- It all started in the early 1600s in the Netherlands, where a spectacle maker named Zacharias Jansen is said to have come up with the first compound microscope, along with the first telescope.
- Haa!! What a nice day to discover new things with my microscope.
- I need to tell Hooke about these thing. I will send letters to let him know.
- The microscope soon became a hot item that every naturalist or scientist at the time wanted to play with, making it much like the iPad of its day.
- One such person was a fellow Dutchman by the name of Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, who heard about this microscope, and instead of going out buying one, he decided to make his own.
- MATTHIAS SCHLEIDEN
- I discovered that every single plant were all made of cells
- THEODOR SCHWANN
- Once Leeuwenhoek had his microscope ready, he went to town, looking at anything and everything he could with them, including the gunk on his teeth. He actually discovered bacteria by looking at dental scrapings, and he called it "animalcules".
- After writing about his discovery he sends letters to a scientific colleague in England, named Robert Hooke.
- Hooke was a guy who really loved all aspects of science. Thus, it is Hooke who we can thank for the term " the cell". As he was looking at a piece of a cork under his microscope and the little chambers he saw reminded him of cells, or the rooms monks slept in in their monasteries.
- ROBERT HOOKE
- Fast-forward to the 1800s, where two German Scientists discovered something that help together to form the idea of " CELL THEORY", which now we all know thanks to them.
- I discovered that all animals were made of cells.
