Cell Theory Timeline Timeline Description: Before 330+ years ago, there was no knowledge of cells. Cells were too small to be seen. But with the invention of the microscope, an entirely new world was discovered, where very large objects like humans are in fact made up of billions of tiny individual pieces called cells.

The cell theory is a fundamental concept in biology that states that all living organisms are composed of cells. This theory has evolved over time through scientific discoveries and advancements. Let's take a journey through the timeline of the cell theory to better understand its development and significance. 1. The Beginnings
The cell theory is one of the foundational tenets of biology and explains the relationship between cells and living things. Development of this theory occurred largely as a result of advancements in the field of microscopy. Cell Theory Timeline. Zacharias Janssen. Time: 1590 • Invented the first compound microscope. Robert Hooke. Time: 1665
Robert Hooke (07/08/1635 – 03/03/1703) Describing the appearance of a thin layer of cork tree, one of the many microscopy documentations contained in the 1665 publication Micrographia, Robert Hooke is credited with term “cells.”. Hooke likened the magnification of the cork’s box-like pores to a Monk’s living quarters, known as a cell ...
Cell Theory: A Definition. A theory in the science world is an idea supported by many tests that have been repeated over and over to prove the same result. In this case, cell theory is a ...
Aug 21, 2019 · Part One: The Microscope. The story of cell theory started in the Netherlands in the 1600s. There, a spectacle-maker named Zacharais Janssen is said to have invented a compound microscope. A compound microscope uses two lenses. One lens is close to the object being viewed. This is called the objective lens. The other lens is close to the viewer.
