Robert Hooke discovers Hooke's Law and uses cell to identify microscopic structures
Looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and noticed some pores in the cork or now cells. He thought these cells existed only in plants, Hooke was the first person to use the word cell to identify these microscopic structures when he described cork. He also wrote Hooke's Law -- a law of elasticity for solid bodies.
