Hooker invented the cell by looking at a cork under a microscope

Hooke was a guy who really loved all aspects of science,so he dabbled in a little bit of everything, including physics,chemistry and biology.Thus it is Hooke who we can thank for the term "the cell,"as he was looking at a piece of cork under his microscope,and the little chambers he saw reminded him of cells,or the rooms monks slept in in their monasteries.Think college dorm rooms,but without the TVs, computers and really annoying roommates.Hooke was something of an underappreciated scientist of his day --something he brought upon himself,as he made the mistake of locking horns with one of the most famous scientists ever, Sir Isaac Newton.
