The first man to witness a live cell under a microscope was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who in 1674 described the algae Spirogyra and named the moving organisms animalcules, meaning "little animals." Leeuwenhoek probably also saw bacteria (Porter 1976).
A few years later, in 1674, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to analyze live cells in his examination of algae. Many years later, in 1831, Robert Brown discovered the nucleus . All of this preceded the cell theory which states that all living things are made up of cells and that cells are organisms' functional and structural units.
