The Discovery of the Cell


The invention of the microscope in
the 1600s enabled researchers to
see cells for the first time.
Robert Hooke named the empty
chambers he observed in cork
“cells.”

Discoveries by German scientists Schleiden,
Schwann, and Virchow led to the development of
the cell theory.
The Cell Theory
All living things are made of cells.
Cells are the basic units of structure and function in
living things.
New cells are produced from existing cells.
Exploring the Cell

Scientists use light
microscopes and
electron microscopes to
explore the structure of
cells.

Compound light
microscopes have
lenses that focus light.
They magnify objects
by up to 1000 times.


Chemical stains and
fluorescent dyes make
cell structures easier to
see.

Transmission Electron
Microscope (TEM)


Uses beams of electrons
to examine thin slices of
material
Provides twodimensional images of
cell structures

Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM)

Uses beams of
electrons to view
the surface of a
specimen
Provides threedimensional

Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM)

Scientists use
computers to add
color to electron
micrographs, which
are photos of objects
seen through a
microscope.
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes



Cells come in an amazing variety of shapes and sizes, but all
cells contain DNA.
All cells are surrounded by a thin flexible barrier called a cell
membrane.
There are two basic categories of cells based on whether they
contain a nucleus.

The nucleus (plural: nuclei) is a large membrane-enclosed
structure that contains DNA.

Eukaryotes are cells that enclose their DNA in nuclei.

Prokaryotes are cells that do not enclose their DNA in nuclei.
