    Hooke used an early microscope to observe plant cells and coined the term "cell" to describe what he saw, while Leeuwenhoek developed improved microscopes and was the first to observe bacteria and other microorganisms. The development of compound microscopes in the 18th century allowed scientists to observe cell structures with much higher magnification and helped lead to the development of the cell theory.
