- I can see so many small things through this microscope! These things the cork is made of remind me of the cells monks live in- what a perfect name! These should be called cells.
- circa 1858
- circa 1831
- There are little things in the middle of these cells... They're nuclei! The nucleus must hold all the information.

- circa 1839
- Theodor Schwann
- After viewing many animal cells, it seems like all animals are made of cells.
- After studying many a plant under my microscope, I've determined that all plants are made of cells.
- Between Schwann and Schleiden's work, it can be understood that All living things are made of cells.
- Matthias Schleiden
- After looking at some other scientists' work and my own, I believe that all cells form from the division of previous ones.
- Rudolf Virchow discovered thatCells Come from Preexisting Cells.
- As you can see, Hooke was the first to name cells, and Brown discovered their nuclei. Schwann and Schleiden's work lended itself to the first component of the cell theory. Virchow discovered and named the second. Cells could be found everywhere. Taking all of these discoveries into account, we can learn the last. Cells are the Basic Unit of Structure and Function.
