He is credited as one of the first scientists to investigate living things at microscopic scale in 1665, [6] using a compound microscope that he designed. [7] Hooke was an impoverished scientific inquirer in young adulthood who went on to became one of the most important scientists of his time. [8]
For his observations, Robert Hooke made use of a compound microscope designed by the London instrument maker Christopher Cock. The first compound microscopes were developed by Galileo and Giuseppe Campani in Italy (1624-1625), and featured three lenses: a bi-convex objective lens placed in the snout and two additional lenses, an eyepiece lens ...
Jan 13, 2020 · Robert Hooke (July 18, 1635–March 3, 1703) was a 17th-century "natural philosopher"—an early scientist—noted for a variety of observations of the natural world. But perhaps his most notable discovery came in 1665 when he looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and discovered cells.
Oct 19, 2023 · Interested in learning more about the microscopic world, scientist Robert Hooke improved the design of the existing compound microscope in 1665. His microscope used three lenses and a stage light, which illuminated and enlarged the specimens.
Aug 22, 2023 · Robert Hooke (1635-1703) published his Micrographia in 1665, a seminal work in the field, which became popular largely thanks to its beautifully detailed illustrations. Hooke was able to obtain clear images thanks to his scotoscope, that is, "a light-condensing brine-filled globe between his lamp light-source and his specimen" which "narrowly ...
Dec 16, 2015 · For Hooke, microscopy encompassed practices that manipulated a loosely connected system of materials extending from the ants he kept in a jar on his desk to the sunlight admitted by his window. This paper focuses on three main aspects of microscopy: lenses, light and specimens.
Jun 24, 2021 · Microscope and cell theory. Hooke's most famous work was his 1665 discovery of the living cell. Though scientists had invented the microscope decades earlier, Hooke's innovation...
