The invention of the microscope allowed the first view of cells. English physicist and microscopist Robert
Hooke (1635–1702) first described cells in 1665. He made thin slices of cork and likened the boxy
partitions he observed to the cells (small rooms) in a monastery. The open spaces Hooke observed were
empty, but he and others suggested these spaces might be used for fluid transport in living plants. He did
not propose, and gave no indication that he believed, that these structures represented the basic unit of
living organisms.

Sample 1:
The invention of the microscope made cells visible for the first time. Robert Hooke (16351702), an
English physicist and microscopist, described cells for the first time in 1665. He cut small pieces of
cork into thin slices, and used the word cells (small rooms in a monastery) to describe the boxy
partitions he observed. Although the cells he saw were empty, he and others suggested these spaces
could be used to transport fluids in living plants. He did not say, nor even believed, that these boxes
were the basic unit of living organisms.

Sample 2:
The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He placed very thin slices of cork under a
microscope. The tiny boxes he saw reminded him of the small rooms where monks lived, which are
called cells, so that’s what he named them. The cells were empty, but he and other scientists at the
time figured that they could perhaps be used by living plants to transport water. Although now we know
that the cells are the basic units of life, Hooke was not the person who proposed it

Original text:
Marcello Malpighi (1628–1694), and Hooke's colleague, Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712), made detailed
studies of plant cells and established the presence of cellular structures throughout the plant body. Grew
likened the cellular spaces to the gas bubbles in rising bread and suggested they may have formed
through a similar process. The presence of cells in animal tissue was demonstrated later than in plants
because the thin sections needed for viewing under the microscope are more difficult to prepare for
animal tissues. The prevalent view of Hooke's contemporaries was that animals were composed of
several types of fibers, the various properties of which accounted for the differences among tissues.

Sample 3:
Marcello Malpighi (1628–1694), and Hooke's coworker, Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712), studied plant
cells and and saw cellular structures throughout the plant body. Grew described the cellular spaces they
saw to the gas bubbles in rising bread and said they may have formed the same way. The presence of
cells in animal tissue was proved later than in plants because the thin slices needed for observing them
under the microscope are more difficult to prepare for animal tissues. The scientists of Hooke's
generation thought that animals were made of several types of fibers, whose different properties
explained the differences among tissues.
Sample 4:
Marcello Malpighi (1628–1694), and Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712), discovered cells in different plant
tissues, and believed that they were formed in the same way as the gas bubbles created by yeast in
bread. All these early discoveries about cells were made in plants first because the slices required to
study animal tissues were harder to prepare. If you think about it, it is easier to cut a thin slice of apple
than it is to cut a thin slice of meat. Because of this, the scientists of the 17th century thought that
animal tissues were made of different types of fibers, which also helped explain the different types of
tissues observed in animals.
