Robert Hooke
Known for: Discovering cells in 1665. How did he discover them? He used a piece of cork under a microscope. He named them "cells" since it looked like a monk cell or a monk live.

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek
Job worked with fabrics, sowed linens and used a scope to see his fabric closely
Refined the microscope: High quality lens allowed 270X (instead of just 20-30X)
1673: Discovered "protozoa" (bacteria). the single celled organisms and he called them “animalcules”
