Bgyb12h3s: cell & molecular biology laboratory. Cell biology/light microscopy module (pdf #8) Microscopy module: a brief history of microscopy. Microscopy has traditionally been a fundamental tool for biologists. The development of the light microscope began in the 1600"s. Von leeuwenhoek was the first to observe chloroplasts in microorganisms. 1800"s that microscopists began to understand the cell as we know it today. The nucleus was recognized as a typical cellular inclusion in plants in. 1831 by robert brown, and was later confirmed as being a constant in animal cells. The concept that all plants and animals were made up of cells was put forward by. Schleiden (a botanist) and schwann (a zoologist) in 1838 and 1839, respectively. Historically, the light microscope was used to document the structure of cells and tissues. In the 1940"s and 1950"s, a significant convergence of biochemistry and cytology occurred which has given rise to modern cell biology.
