Why, hello there! I didn't see you! My name is Matthias Schleiden, and I'm a German Botanist.
This thing that I'm holding is called a compound microscope.
Huh, isn't that strange? All the types of plants I study are made of similar looking cells! I think I've just made an amazing discovery! I must share it with my pal, Theodor Schwann. We agree on everything but one thing, were cells come from.
Why, hello, hello, hello! I am Theodor Schwann, a German zoologist! I have studied almost every kind of animal cell with my handy compound microscope, and can now conclude, that with much consideration and many letters to my co-worker Matthias Schleiden, that cells make up all living things. But we disagree on one thing, were cells come from.

Hello there young one! I am Rudolph Virchow, a German scientist. I have just got back from stopping a fight between Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden. I have also just proved that cells come from other cells! Now I'm famous!
