The apparent displacement, or difference of position, of an object, as seen from two different stations, or points of view. In contemporary writing parallax can also be the same story, or a similar story from approximately the same time line, from one book told from a different perspective in another book.
In 1838, Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden were enjoying after-dinner coffee and talking about their studies on cells. It has been suggested that when Schwann heard Schleiden describe plant cells with nuclei, he was struck by the similarity of these plant cells to cells he had observed in animal tissues.
The word cell was first used by English scientist Robert Hooke in 1665 to describe the cell walls visible in cork when seen through a microscope. In 1838 the German botanist Mâ¦atthias Schleiden concluded that all plant tissues were made of cells. In 1839 the zoologist Theodor Schwann reached the same conclusion about animal tissues. By 1885 the German physiologist concluded that cells only originated by the division of a preexisting cell.
