The discovery of blood cells in the human body paved the way for advanced studies in cell biology. Early discovery of genes in volved in human development by Edward Lewis, Christine Nusslein and Eric Wieschaus in 1995 is a clear demonstration of the importance of microscopes in the life sciences.
The microscope led to the discovery of cells. Most cells are microscopic, too small to see without the aid of a microscope. A microscope is an instrument which makes an object appear bigger than it is. It took the invention of this relatively simple tool to lead to the discovery of cells. In the 1660s, Robert Hooke began using microscopes to look at all sorts of materials. Anton van Leeuwenhoek took up similar work in the 1670s. They were among the first people to describe cells.
