jan swammerdam
a microscope user of his time who used his knowledge to help.
He described to be able to see red corpuscles within blood. this further thrust forward the mystery of cells. -
Athanasius Kircher
A Jesuit preacher observed that the materials that animals and bugs were made out of eventually decayed after death, allowing maggots to fester. this obvservation aroused the question of why that it so. -
microphagia was made
Robert hooke was an excellent english scientist and microscopist. He was even able to create his own improved microscope on his own volition.
In 1665, Robert hooke released "microphagia." this detailed many things regarding microscopes, but most importantly it described cells, and laid the foundation for what they should be in the future. -

a dutch businessman and scientist. he was very interested in microscopes. he modified and produced a large number of lenses.
In a formal letter that was sent to the royal society, he stated that cells were indeed living organisms. this was a confirmation of a very important question stated by other scientists at this time, -

neuron theory
im 1931 after the invention of the electric microscope, scientists were able to clear the mystery regarding neurons and what cell's should be classified as. this was very important in the cementing of factual cell information.
