Microscopes. And Robert Hooke is credited with the ''cell", Rob was working with Antony. At least I'm 99% sure...

Antony Van Lewenhoek 1632-1723. Dutch inventor of the first microscope. He was a textiles merchant before that. Textile merchants had to use magnifying glass to inspect the quality of the material. He just wanted to come up with something that would work even better. So,he just experimented. Until he got to the level of the paramecium or amoeba and little 'animalicules' that swim in the water.

Inventor of the microscope and dubbed cells with their name when he examined a piece of cork under his invention. He thought that the microscopic cork looked like the sleeping quarters in a monastery, so he called them"cells."

I'm pretty sure he invented one of the first types of light microscopes and is credited with viewing the first living cell.

Go to this website! His name is actually Antony van Leeuwenhoek. If you do a Yahoo search, you can find a lot of information on him. Good luck!
