Micrographia
In 1665 Hooke published Micrographia, the first important work devoted to the microscopical observation. He described the microscopic units that made up the structure of a slice of cork and coined the term "cells" or "pores". I chose this person because microscopes are famous these days for researching and he was one of the firsts to develop this form of viewing microscopic units. -
Organisms
The Italian naturalist Lazzaro and other researchers showed that an organism derives from another organism(s). A quote from a text states "there is one universal principle of development for the elementary parts of organisms... and this principle is in the formation of cells". I choose Lazzaro because he was able to explain why our cells as humans can regenerate form each other. -
Tissue Formation
Albert Kolliker, A swiss anatomist, physiologist, and histologist showed that cells are formed through scission of pre-existing cells. This became the basis of the theory of tissue formation. I choose this because this event is a key point to finding the conclusion to Cell Theory. -
Official Term: Nucleus
A Scottish botanist named Robert Brown was the first to recognize the nucleus, a term he introduced, as an essential constitute of living cells. I specifically choose this because of its blunt meaning and ability to contribute to the nucleus within plants and animals. -
Plants Composer
A botanist named Matthias Jakob Schledien suggested that every structural element of plants is composed of cells or their products. The following year a similar conclusion was made by a zoologist for animals. I chose this evet because of what it was trying to identify which was plants and animals and how they match when it comes to cells. -
Cell Theory
The Cell Theory was officially formulated, cells were not seen as undifferentiated structures. A component of the cell like the nucleus, had been visualized. The reoccurrence of the nucleus of different tissues and organisms hinted at the possibility that cells of similar organization might underlie all living matter. I chose this event because I believe this was the main topic and research from the process. -
Cell Imaging
A book by Karl Dieters contained beautiful descriptions and drawings of nerve cells studied by using histological methods and microdissection made within needles under the microscope. I chose Karl because he described the methods developed throughout the years the best and used graphics to do so. -
Microscopy Techniques
The development of microtome technique and the use of ne fixing methods and dyes greatly improved microscopy. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the principal organelles that are now considered to be parts of the cell were identified. I chose this because researchers now and then wouldn't be able to identify these changes with cells without this tool. -
Black Reaction
When Golgi developed the 'black reaction', which he announced to a friend with few words, "I am delighted that I have between neurons." when the nervous system was also found to be made up of independent units, cell theory obtained its final triumph. I chose Golgi because he identified something completely new using proven methods. -
Mitosis
Walther Flemming Also introduced the term “mitosis” and gave a greater description of its various processes. This process was also observed in plants, providing further evidence of the deep unity of the living world. I chose this event because it related to what I learned myself through school and now I know the basis of it.
