THE CELL THEORY
And the CELL DISCOVERIES
 THE CELL
DISCOVERIES
AND CELL
THEORY
COMPOUND MICROSCOPE – is the
most useful instrument in studying
about the parts of a cell.
 ROBERT HOOKE
• An English Scientist, 1665, when
he conducted a study about the
cell by slicing a very small piece
of cork (oak cork) and observed
it under his crude microscope.
• He observed the small partitions,
room-like structures and he
called it “CELL”.

 CRUDE
MICROSCOPE
 ANTON VAN
LEEUWENHOEK
• He discovered a living organisms
known as ANIMALCULES.
• A Dutch naturalist known as Anton
van Leeuwenhoek who was an
expert in grinding lenses and he was
able to observed, discovered the tiny
living organisms he named
“ANIMALCULES”, from the
DROP OF RAIN WATER.
• Some of the tiny animalcules are
known as BACTERIA.
 ROBERT BROWN

• Discovered the carrier of genetic materials

called “NUCLEUS”.
• In 1831, he is a botanist who discovered
the Center part of the cell known as
Nucleus in Plant cell.
• He defined Nucleus as the transmitter,
controller of information and carrier of
genes.
 FELIX DUJARDIN

• A French biologist who discovered the

“PROTOPLASM” which is a semi-transparent living
substance known as Sarcode, in which later in was
changed to protoplasm.
 MATTHIAS
SCHLEIDEN
• A German botanist
discovered the cells in
plant only.
• He concluded that all
plants are made up of
cells.
THEODOR SCHWANN

• A German zoologist who discovered “cell

in animal”.
• He concluded that all animals are
composed of cells.
• These evidences lead a further study
about the cell theory and considered as a
gratefully help in the conceptualization of
the cell theory.
RUDOLF VIRCHOW

• A German Physician who

justified the creation of new
cells were came from other
cells.
• “All living cells come from
existing cells.
 CELL THEORY
1. Cells are the building block and the functional unit of all
living organisms. It includes the life cycle, metabolic
activities and the ability to transfer character traits. (
2. All living organisms are containing one or more cells.
3. Cells arise from the pre-existing cells.
 ACTIVITY: “MOBILE MICROSCOPE”

1. Prepare all the needed materials in doing this activity.

LASER DOUBL ADHESIVE TAPE CP
2. Open the head of laser and get the lens.
3. Use your adhesive tape to bind the lens to your cellphone’s
lens.
4. Then, if the magnification of the mobile microscope is clear,
start observing the zoomed in structure of Lice, Coffee,
Bread, Paper money, moss and etc.
5. Collate the video in 1 file including your answers in guide
questions.
 GUIDE QUESTIONS

1. Based on what you have observed, what

is the difference of each specimen
between what you see with your eyes
only and what you see in your mobile
microscope?

Specimen What you see What you see

with your eyes with your
mobile
microscope.
GUIDE QUESTIONS

2. What is the importance of

using microscopes in Science
field?
3. What if you are able to be
like a size of cell, what type of
microorganism you want to be?
