Lauren Stahl and Mason Spruill Cell Theory Timeline

  • Light Microscope

    Light Microscope
    The light microscope, also known as the optical microscope, is a microscoe used to show slides of bacteria by catcing the right angle of light. "Optical Microscope." <i>En.m.wikipedia.org</i>. N.p., n.d. Web.
  • Robert Hooke

    Robert Hooke
    Robert Hooke was an English scientist who was in the Oxford Circle. He was famous because he discovered or names the Cell. It happened by him looking at a cork under a microscope and seeing that it looked like tiny little rows, like the cells in a monastery.
  • Animal Cells

    Animal Cells
    I put Robert Hooke's birthday above because he was the one who discovered the microscopic cell. An animal cell is also known as a eukaryote. They are typically more rounded than a plant cell. "Cell Theory." <i>En.m.wikipedia.org</i>. N.p., n.d. Web.
  • Plant Cell

    Plant Cell
    I put Robert Hooke's birthdate above because he is the father of the cell. A plant cell is also known as a prokaryote. Prokaryotes, or plant cells, aremore rectangular than animal cells (eukaryotes.) "Cell Theory." <i>En.m.wikipedia.org</i>. N.p., n.d. Web.
  • Antony von Leeuwenhoek

    Antony von Leeuwenhoek
    Antony von Leeuwenhoek was from the Netherlands and sold cloth to people so they could bring it to the haberdasher, or the tailor to sow it together. He also was a scientist as a hobby, not as a specific job. He made one of the first simple microscopes, found out different ways of reproduction and was the first person to discover bacteria, or as he called them, animalcules.
  • Matthias Schleiden

    Matthias Schleiden
    Matthias Schleiden was a botanist. He was the co-founder of the theory we know today as the Cell Theory, along with Schwann and Virchow. "Matthias Jakob Schleiden." <i>En.m.wikipedia.org</i>. N.p., n.d. Web.
  • Theodor Schwann

    Theodor Schwann
    Thodor Scwann is mainly known for being one of the co-founders of the Cell Theory. He is also majorly known for the discovery of Pepsin, a chief digestive enzyme. "Theodor Schwann." <i>En.m.wikipedia.org</i>. N.p., n.d. Web.
  • Cell Theory

    Cell Theory
    Cell theory was developed over a period of several centuries, from 1595 to 1855. The date above is 1838 because that is the year that Schleiden discovered that plants were made of cells. "Discovery of Cells and the Development of Cell Theory." <i>Smith Life Science</i>. N.p., n.d. Web.
  • Rudolph Virchow

    Rudolph Virchow
    Rudolph Virchow was a German scientist who found out that cells only stem from other cells, and he helped advance medical research by showing that you can diagnose patients by not only clinical symptoms but changes in someones cells. He also found out that only cells or groups of cells get sick, not a whole living organism.
  • Electron Microscope

    Electron Microscope
    The electron microscope was invented in 1928 by Hans Busch. It uses accelerated electrons to illuminate the microscopic slides. "Electron microscope" <i>En.m.wikipedia.org</i>. N.p., n.d. Web.
