Study Notes
Cell Theory Timeline
- Zacharias Janssen: Dutch spectacle-maker, son of Hans Janssen, credited with inventing the compound microscope around 1590 using small lenses.
- Hans Janssen: Father of Zacharias, also associated with the invention of the compound microscope, both recognized for advancements in optical capabilities.
- Robert Hooke: Coined the term "cells" in 1665 while observing cork through a light microscope; published findings in Micrographia.
- Anton Van Leeuwenhoek: In 1674, observed microorganisms in pond water; later discovered bacteria in 1683, and referred to them as "animalcules."
- Matthias Jakob Schleiden: German botanist in 1838; proposed that all plants are composed of cells.
- Theodore Schwann: German zoologist in 1839; stated all animals are made of cells, with Schwann cells in neurons named after him.
- Rudolf Virchow: German physician in 1855; studied cell reproduction and asserted "omne cellula e cellula," meaning all cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Summary of Cell Theory
- Composed of Cells: All living organisms consist of one or more cells.
- Basic Unit of Life: Cells are the fundamental unit of life in all organisms.
- Cell Replication: Cells originate from existing cells, emphasizing the continuity of life.
Parts of a Microscope
- Parts Location: The microscope's components, including the stage, enhance observation, with controls typically being round dials located below the stage.
