Robert Hooke was the first person to observe and describe cells.
In 1665, Robert Hooke published his book “Micrographia”, where he described his observations using a microscope. He examined a thin slice of cork and observed small, box-like compartments, which he called “cells” because they reminded him of the rooms (cells) in a monastery.
