What role did Hans & Zacharias Janssen play in cell development?
In the 1590's they placed one lens behind another in a tube (simple compund magnifying lens)
What is Robert Hooke best know for?

In 1855 he observed, under a microscope, cells dividing. He then reasoned that all cells come from other pre-exsisting cells by cell division.
What does the cell theory say?

Which three men directly helped to develop the cell theory?
Matthias Schleiden, Theodore Schwann, and Rudolph Virchow
Tell me about the electron microscope!
-it uses a beam of electrons to illuminate images -it allowed scientists to verify the components of the cell theory -it can magnify up to 2,000,000x! (light microscopes, by contrast, only 2,000x!)
Cytoplasm is...
