Answered by wiki @


  • The cells were first observed using a compound microscope.
  • This microscope was used by Robert Hooke in the year 1665 who observed thin slices of cork under the compound microscope and saw structures which resembled small rooms and thus he named them as cells.
  • In reality what he actually observed were the dead plant cells.
