Anton van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch biologist, looked at pond water with the first microscope he made out of lenses. He observed tiny moving bodies in it.

Robert Hooke, an English scientist, discovered honeycomb-like structures, in a slice of cork using a primitive compound microscope. He coined the term "cell" for these individual compartments.

Matthias Schleiden proposed that all plant tissues are composed of cells and that cells are the basic building blocks of all plants. A similar theory about animals was proposed by Theodore Schwann. He proposed that all animals are made of cells and that cells constitute the building blocks of all animals.
