    Hans Jensen
    Along with his brother Zacharias jansen they were ther first to create the compound micro scope by combining different lenses with a couple of tubes,

    Zacharias Jansen
    Him and his brother hans was the first two people to create a compound micro scope because they put two lenses together and some tubes. Then they were the first to people to make the micro scope.
  • Jean Baptiste Van Helmont

    Jean Baptiste Van Helmont
    He was the one who belived in spontainious gernoration. He thought that if you leave a piece of meat sit for to long then it will make maggots and flys. Also he was one of the first people to question the theory of spontainious generation.
  • Robert Hooke

    Robert Hooke
    Robert Hooke first described cells in 1665. He made thin slices of cork and found that in the cork had litte tiny boxes and then called them cells because they were small and square he also was one of the first people to use the micro-scope so that is how he saw the really tiny cells withen each of the corks
  • Francesco Redi

    Francesco Redi
    He also disproved spontainious gerneration by proving that rotten meat did not transform in to flies and maggots but it just attracted it to the meat instead. By doing that he also proved that cells can only come from other cells
  • Anton Van Leeuwenhoek

    Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
    He was one of the first people to see a couple of cells such as the redblood cell and the sperm cell. but more than one hundred years passed before a connection was made between the cellular structure of these creatures and the cells in animals or plants
  • Lazzaro Spallanzani

    Lazzaro Spallanzani
    He found out that all of these animals could regenerate earthworms and snails, and of the legs, tails and jaws of aquatic salamanders, as well as the tails of tadpoles and the legs of young and adult frogs.
  • Rene Dutrochet

    Rene Dutrochet
    Hey was the person who started saying that all living things are made up of cells. That started with a group of scientists in europe and he was one of them. He also confirmed that plants and animals have cells.
  • Matthias Schleiden

    Matthias Schleiden
    He proved that the structual element of all plants has cells. He also thought of many more ideas such as cells arise by a crystallization-like process either within other cells or from outside of the other cells.
  • Theodor Schwann

    Theodor Schwann
    Like Matthias Schleiden with the plant idea theodor did the same thing but with animals not plants he proved that all animals have a structural element that is composed of cells
  • Rudolf Virchow

    Rudolf Virchow
    Hey discoverd biogenic law cellula e cellula, which translates into every cell stems from another cell. whcich means every cell comes from another cell so it disproved spontainious generation he aslo found disease involved changes to the function or structure of normal cells
  • Louis Pasteur

    Louis Pasteur
    He performed additional experiments on the soup. He proved that air born microbes were able to infect both broths but the bactieria stayed on the top of the S shaped tube so the soup was left unaffected.
  • Ernst Ruska

    Ernst Ruska
    He was the first person to create the electric microscope. Which people still use today for looking at cells and other things under the microscope.
