Document Summary
The historical aspects of cell biology, and how it was invented. It talks about how a typical cell works, and how they are classified ( prokaryotes or eukaryotes). The first microscope was invented by robert hooke, in the 1970"s. He used the microscope to observe pieces or cork, in which he saw little rooms, or cellula"s. This is where the word cell comes from, because in the corks, the cellua, were the spaces that made up the cell. Another man improved on robert hook"s model of a microscope. Anthony leeuwenhoek, at about the same time, improved on his invention. He was able to make a microscope more clear by improving the quality of the lens. Therefore he is often called the father of microbbiology. Anthony leeuwenhoek, using his imrpoved model of the microscope was able to see ogranisms that were single celled. For instance, he observed the bacteria from his own mouth. He saw things like blood cells, and semen.
