Robert Hooke
Robert Hooke is the first English physicist that looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and noticed that there were "cells" in it. Robert Hooke believed the cells served as containers for the "noble juices" or "fibrous threads" of the once-living cork tree. Hooke was the first person to use the word "cell" to describe the microscopic structures of a cork. -

Theodor Schwann, a German botanist reached the conclusion that not only plants, but animal tissue as well is composed of cells. This ended debates that plants and animals were fundamentally different in structure. Theodor also pulled together and organized previous statement on cells into one theory, which said one, Cells are organisms and all organisms consist of one or more cells, and two, the cell is the basic unit of structure for all organisms. During Theodor's life, he made rebreathers. -
