The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, who named the biological units for their resemblance to cells inhabited by Christian monks in a monastery.
I think the first person to actually look at cells and their structures....in this case plant cells was a Dutch scientist named Anton van Leeuwenhoek.....(think he may have been the first to examine bacteria as well around the same time as Hooke) One thing I am certain of is that cytology didn't become a mainstream science until much later.....mid 1800's I think.
