Lens Support for specimen Adjustments Anton van Leeuwenhoek • Firstlight microscopes • Spherical lenses • 200 – 500 x Magnification • Discovered ‘infusoria’ (protists), Bacteria, spermatozoa • First to describe muscle cells, red blood cells, blood flow in capillaries
Robert Hooke • Also made some early compound microscopes • 1665 publishes “Micrographia” • Coined the term “cell” Ocular lens Body Tube Objective lens Specimen
Robert Hooke Hooke’s micrscope & his famous drawing of cells from the Cork Oak, from “Micrographia”
Matthias Schlieden • Botanist • All plants are made of cells • A cell’s nucleus is involved in its reproduction
Theodor Schwann • All animals are made of cells • (but not all cells have the same properties!) • Histology • Schwann cells!
Rudolf Virchow • Cells can only arise from pre-existing cells • “Omnis cellula e cellula”
Schlieden + Schwann + Virchow… BBFF’s! • *Biological Best Friends Forever… their ideas formed…
Cell Theory • The cell is the basic unit of structure of all life. • The cell is the basic unit of function of all life. • All cells arise from pre-existing cells.
