Cells were first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He observed a piece of cork slice with the help of a primitive microscope and observed empty spaces covered by walls like a honeycomb. He called them cells. The cells observed by Hooke were only the cell wall enclosing the vacant spaces left by dead cork cells. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek first described a live cell.
