1) In the 17th century, early microscopists like Hooke, Janssen, and Leeuwenhoek observed "cells" in plant and animal tissues using microscopes. 2) In the 1830s-1840s, botanists and physiologists including Schleiden, Schwann, and Braun proposed the cell theory - that cells are the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living things. 3) Later contributions refined the cell theory, such as Virchow concluding that new cells are produced from existing cells.
