Microscope & Cell Theory

​The microscope

​Looking at cells and discovering the three parts of the cell theory wouldn't have been possible without the microscope. Cells are too small to see without a microscope.

​Parts of the cell theory

​1. All organisms are made of cells (plants, animals, fungus...)

​2. All cells come from preexisting cells.

​3. Cells are the basic structure of life.

​People to know...

​-Zaccharias Jensenn

-Matthias Schleiden

-Anton van Leeuwenhoek

​- Theodor Schwann

​-Rudolph Virchow
