The discoverer of cells was Robert Hooke.

1. Discovery of cells

Cells are the basic units in biology and the basic units that constitute the smallest structure and function of organisms. The discovery of cells resulted from the research contributions of a range of scientists.

2. Robert Hooke

1. Introduction: Robert Hooke (1635-1703) was a British scientist, engineer and inventor, recognized as One of the founders of cytology.

2. Contribution to cells: In 1665, Robert Hooke used a microscope of his own design to observe the cell structure of plants, discovered and described the phenomenon of cells, and named it cellulae (Latin for "small room").

3. "The Various Architectures of Objects Observed under the Microscope": Hooke wrote his observation results, research methods and new discoveries into a book "The Various Architectures of Objects Under the Microscope" (Micrographia) ), which was published in 1665 and became an important work in the scientific community at that time.

3. Other cell-related scientists

1. Matthias Schleiden and Theodore Schwann: This Two scientists proposed the cell theory in 1838 and 1839 respectively, stating that all life forms are composed of cells.

2. Jacob von Lennhock: He invented the microscope at the end of the 17th century and used it for biological observation. He also made certain contributions to the study of cells.

The above is an introduction to Robert Hooke, the discoverer of cells, and other cell-related scientists. Robert Hooke discovered and described cellular phenomena for the first time through microscope observation, and named them cellulae. This important discovery laid the foundation for subsequent cellular research and gave us a deeper understanding of the composition of life.
