Detailed explanation-1: -In 1665 Robert Hooke published what would become his most famous work, Micrographia (”Small Drawings”). In it he included his studies and illustrations of the crystal structure of snowflakes and first used the word cell to name the microscopic honeycomb cavities in cork.
Detailed explanation-2: -The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell by Hooke. While looking at cork, Hooke observed box-shaped structures, which he called “cells” as they reminded him of the cells, or rooms, in monasteries. This discovery led to the development of the classical cell theory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Robert Hooke was the first scientist who coined the term ‘cell’.
Detailed explanation-4: -Robert Hooke had discovered the small-scale structure of cork. And he concluded that the small-scale structure of cork explained its large-scale properties. Cork floats, Hooke reasoned, because air is sealed in the cells. That air springs back after being compressed, and that’s why cork is springy.
Detailed explanation-5: -Robert Hooke was an English scientist who coined the term cell for the Honeycomb structures he saw in a cork slice. He used a primitive compound microscope . He discovered it in 1665.
