1. KEY CONCEPT Cells are the Basic unit of life.

2. The cell theory grew out of the work of many scientists and improvements in the microscope.
Many scientists contributed to the cell theory.

3. Early Contributions
Hooke - First person to see cells, he was looking at cork and noted that he saw "a great many boxes. Named cells. (1665)
Leeuwenhoek - Observed living cells in more detail in pond water, which he called "animalcules" (1674)

4. Early Contributions
Schleiden - Observed tissues of plants contained cells. He was the first to note that plants are made up of cells. ( 1838)
Schwann – Concluded that all living things are made up of cells. He observed tissues of animals had cells (1839)
Virchow - Also reported that every living thing is made of up vital units, known as cells. He predicted that cells come from other cells. (1850 )

5. Important technological advances:
Improvements to the lenses of microscopes have allowed scientists to study cells in more detail.
