Cell Theory Timeline

  • Marcello Malphigi

    Marcello Malphigi
    He identified the pulminary network connecting arteries and veins,
  • Robert Hooke

    Robert Hooke
    Robert Hook looked at a thin piece of cork under his microscope and realized the it looked like many cells in which monks lived in, it was odd but that is why cells are called cells today.
  • Antony Van Leewonheuk

    Antony Van Leewonheuk
    Leeuwonhoek was the first person to observe a live cell which he called an " animalacule" because he thought they looked like little animals.
  • Henri Dutrochet

    Henri Dutrochet
    Henri Dutrochet discovered Osmosis, the passage of solvent through a semipermeable membrane.
  • Robert Brown

    Robert Brown
    Robert Brown, a botanist from Engalnd, discovered the Cell Nucleus. Brown was studying orchids under microscope when he observed an opaque area, which he called the areola or nucleus, in the cells of the flower's outer layer.He did not suggest a potential function.
  • Felix Dujardin

    Felix Dujardin
    Felix Dujardin'S study of His studies of infusoria (microscopic animal life frequently found in infusions of decaying organic materials) led Dujardin in 1834 to propose a new group of one-celled animals (called protozoans) that he called the Rhizopoda In the group Foraminifera, he observed the seemingly formless life substance that exuded outward through openings in the calcareous shell and named the substance sarcode, later known as protoplasm.
  • Matthias Jakob Shcleiden

    Matthias Jakob Shcleiden
    Matthias Jakob Schleiden loked to look at plants with his microscope, he fouind out that all platns were composed of cells and with the help of Theodor Scwann he created cell theory.
  • Theodor Schwann

    Theodor Schwann
    Theodor Schwann had been communicating with Matthias Schleiden and they had been talking about cells in plants and Schwann said he had found similar things about animals that they were all also composed of cells, and then he wrote the words that all organisms are composed of cells or cell parts. With the help of Matthias Schleiden he created cell theory.
  • Rudolph Virchow

    Rudolph Virchow
    Rudolph Virchow says that Diseases don't come from tissues and muscles but from the single cell they control and that we needed to understand cell theory to study these cells.
