    Zacharias Janssen
    Zacharias janssen invented the first optical telescope, and he also invented the first ever compound microscope. Janssen was one of the three people to be involved with the creation of the microscope. Hans and Zacharias Jansen: A complete microscope history. (n.d.). Retrieved September 18, 2015.

  • Robert Hooke

    Robert Hooke
    Hooke used the microscope to document his observations and findings. Hooke also discovered the "cell" when using the microscope. He had viewded the "cell" walls in cork tissues, he also looked at plant cells, and found the same thing in wood. Microscope history: Robert Hooke (1635 - 1703). (n.d.).

  • Mattias Schleiden

    Mattias Schleiden
    Schleiden had recognized the imprtance of the cell nucleus. He conclueded that all plant tissues are composed of cells. He also concluded that the cell is the basic building block of all plant matter. He was a lso one of the three scientist to com eup with the cell theory.
