Oswaldo_Carla_Daniela_Cell Theory Time Line

  • Zacharias Jansen

    Zacharias Jansen
    Zacharias Jansen invented the compound microscope!He also invented the optical microscope to help people with poor eye sight and to help people understand how cells work.He helped Cell Theory by helping people understand the complexity of cells.He made the compound microscope by combining two convex lenses within a tube.
  • Anton Van Leewenhoek

    Anton Van Leewenhoek
    He made a name for himself in politics, and eventually developed an interest in lensmaking. Using his handcrafted microscopes, he was the first to observe and describe single-celled organisms, which he originally referred to as animalcules, and which are now referred to as microorganisms and he was the
    first to record microscopic observations.
  • Robert Hooke

    Robert Hooke
    Looked at cork slice under the newly developed microscope. Noticed that it was made up of boxes and named these cells.He contributed to making the Cell Theory by naming them cells and was also, a founder of Cell Theory.
  • Light Microscope-Anton Van Leeuwenhoek

    Light Microscope-Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
    Anton Van Leewenhoek was considered the father of microscopy.He was the first one to see bacteria.He invented the light microscope which helped Cell Theory and the microscopy.
  • Louis Pasteur

    Louis Pasteur
    Louis Pasteur was famous for his work on disease causes and prevention.He is well known for inventing.A process to stop food and liquid such as milk from making people sick.
  • Matthais Schleiden

    Matthais Schleiden
    Concluded that all plants are made up by cells.He was a co founder of the cell theory and thats how he helped science.In wich he stated that all plant parts are composed of cells.
  • Theodore Schleiden

    Theodore Schleiden
    Matthias Schleiden found that all plants are composed of cells, the same as explained in Schwann's Microscopic Investigations on the Accordance in the Structure and Growth of Plants and Animals, where he concluded, "All living things are composed of cells and cell products"This became cell theory.
  • Rudolf Virchow

    Rudolf Virchow
    Rudolf Virchow was a doctor in German.He saw that cells came only from existing cells.That helped other scientist study cells.He helped write the third part of Cell Theory.He was a important part in making Cell Theory bacause without him we wouldn't have Cell Theory.
  • Electrone Microscope

    Electrone Microscope
    Electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light photons. Where ordinary microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 resolution and useful magnifications below 2000.
    The electron microscope uses electrostatic and electromagnetic.
