Robert Hooke discovered some of the world's first microorganisms and should be the known as the father of cell biology. He made discoveries way before scientists like Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek had made them, even though he didn't really understand what he saw, he gave it the name the ¨cell¨. He also wrote one of the most important scientific books to date as well, Micrographia. He was also a great physicist and discovered the law of elasticity which gave us a great understanding of stress and strain on physical objects. Robert Hooke was a man of many trades and one of them was being a great Cell Biologist. Robert Hooke was born on July 18, 1635, in Freshwater, Isle of Wight. His father was a curch server and his mother was a non-working woman. He was initially a sick child but loved to learn as her grew. He loved to paint and work with mechanical toys and models as he grew up. At the age of 13 his father …show more content…
He cut up a cork and looked at it through a microscope. since corks are made up of dead plants of sorts he saw plant cells through his lense. He was the first to ever examine them and gave these strange objects the name cells because they reminded him of actual cells. Other discoveries he made were actually three notable inventions. He made the balance wheel to make clocks more accurate, the universal joint to make objects bend in any direction, and lastly the lense diaphragm to stop to acute the passage of light in lenses. he was a great scientist and inventor for his time and created stuff we still use today. Today pretty much every cell biologist uses his discovery! He coined the name ¨cell¨ for these things and gave us the first glimpses of all the science that was yet to come. He also wrote the book Micrographia one of the most important books in science to date. Every cell biologist follows in Hooke's discovery. Today many scientists wouldn't be where they are today if it weren't for his
On the year of 1980 was when he received his second Nobel Prize. This Nobel Prize was also in chemistry, for inventing a method of so called “reading” the molecular letters that make up the genetic code. This discovery was a big discovery
Hooke’s law was named after the man that discovered it in 1660. Robert Hooke was a 17th century physicist who discovered the relationship between the forces applied to a spring and elasticity. He published his book in 1678 that included the description of his work. Hooke’s law states that any elastic body, like a spring is acted on by a unit of
Another tool that have had a big impact in the science world is the Microscope. A microscope is an optical instrument that uses a lens or combination of lenses to produce a magnified image of small or microscopic objects such as bacteria and cells. One of the most known and historic purposes that the microscope has been used for is during the discovery of penicillin. Dr. Fleming, a bacteriologist, observed that a plate culture of staphylococcus had bee contaminated by a blue green mold. Then tracking and observing the bacteria through a microscope Dr. Fleming was able to observe that the colonies of bacteria next to the mold were being dissolved. Fleming then proceed to grow the mold in pure culture and produced a substance that killed a number of
Steven Barone, a Nevada resident known for his alien chasing hobbies, has finally struck gold. Barone apparently caught his first UFO sighting on two HD cameras. This would be great news, unfortunately, Barone hails from Las Vegas. The City of Sin isn't exactly known for its truthful reputation, but perhaps Barone will prove that wrong. Probably unlikely.

John Rolfe is an exemplary piece of history in the world today. Throughout his life, John accomplished many great things and his actions were known by most everyone. A quick example of his extraordinary work was the first successful cultivation of the crop tobacco. This was an export crop in Virginia.
I believe that Frederick Sanger should be in the Hall of Chemists due to the research he discovered not only of the world around us but also of the human DNA as a whole. Without Sanger, it is easy to believe that the information we know about ourselves as humans would still be lost. Also with his creation of insulin, he has prolonged and even saved many lives from diabetes. With all of this success and lifesaving technology that he found it is very surprised that he is not a household name.
Here I focus on his life as a scientist and inventor, touching briefly on his other
How these scientists made discoveries that has helped the human race understand more about diseases and how things work.
Bob Fosse was born on June 23, 1927 in Chicago, Illinois, USA as Robert Louis Fosse.
By using their microscopes, they found that every living plant and animal they examined was made of cells. As microscopes were improved, scientists were able to see smaller and smaller organisms. They found that no matter how large or small the organism was, it was made of cells, leading to cell theory. For example, a German biologist, Theodor Schwann discovered that all plant and animal cells were divided into cells by looking through his microscope. He also discovered that the cell is the basic unit of organization in organisms. Cells can be grouped together to form tissues, which can in turn be grouped together to make an organ. Organs can be grouped together to form a system, which is part of an organism. He was able to use microscopes to see the ways that cells work and help to determine which kind of microorganisms (bacteria) is causing the disease and making people ill. This is particularly valuable in the study of the components of organisms, where physicians are able to overcome a treatment of method to kill disease cells and restore people¡¦s health. The microscope revealed not only the cellular structure of human tissues, but also the organisms that cause diseases. The discovery of cells led scientists to study cells and discover more information about cells; this, allowed scientists to find ways to prevent or cure diseases. The use of microscopes has made many
Many scientists say that several people saw his great idea and followed him on the way to discovery, but others opposed it. One of the followers was Louis Pasteur who seems to get most of the credit for the start of the germ theory. Pasteur was a French microbiologists and a dedicated man
Robert Adam (1728–92) was one of the most important British architects working in the Neo-classical style and was a main force in the development of a unified style that extended beyond architecture and interiors to include both the fixed and moveable objects in a room. He was a essential Scottish neoclassical architect, interior designer and furniture designer of his century. He incorporated design ideas from ancient Greece and Rome into his forms and decoration. His famous London houses include Kenwood House, Osterley Park and Syon House. Robert Adam developed the "Adam Style", and his theory of "movement" in architecture, based on his studies of antiquity, by contrasting room sizes and decorative schemes.
But first, let us talk about the discovery of cells and the cell theory. Robert Hooke, an english scientist, was the man who first discovered the cell in 1665, proof being a book he released at that time called Micrographia. In this book, Hooke gave 60 observations of random objects under a compound microscope with a magnification of 30x. Because of this, he was not able to see the internal structures in the cell, like nuclei and vacuoles, and what he proclaimed to be cells were just empty cell walls of plant tissues. He shared his observations with The English Royal Society, until they started receiving letters from a scientist named Anton van Leeuwenhoek. The letters stated that Anton made use of a microscope containing improved lenses that magnified objects up to 275x, enough to identify the living parts of a cell. He kept on sending
Cells, they are the building block of all life, they are what make up the entirety of living things on Earth and without them living things would cease to exist. It is because of this that cells are considered to be the most important known unit of life and are studied so often. Cells were first observed in the mid 17th century by English physicist and microscopist Robert Hooke using on of the earliest versions of the microscope. (Biologyreference.com, 2017) Hooke’s observations led to further investigations and studies into the topic of cells resulting in many major breakthroughs in the field of biology. Possibly the biggest of these breakthroughs is credited to have being made by Theodor schwann, Matthias Schleiden and Rudolph Virchow,
