Robert Hooke was born on the Isle of Wight, England on July 28, 1635. His parents were John Hooke and Cecily Gyles. He was the youngest of their four children. For a large part of his childhood, and whole life, Robert Hooke’s health was delicate.  Hooke's Microscope This beautiful microscope was made for the famous British scientist Robert Hooke in the late 1600s, and was one of the most elegant microscopes built during the period. Hooke illustrated the microscope in his Micrographia, one of the first detailed treatises on microscopy and imaging. Although Hooke did not make his own microscopes, he was heavily involved with the overall design and optical characteristics. The microscopes were actually made by London instrument maker Christopher Cock, who enjoyed a great deal of success due to the popularity of this microscope design and Hooke's book. The Englishman Robert Hooke (18th July 1635 - 3rd March 1703) was an architect, natural philosopher and brilliant scientist, best known for his law of elasticity (Hooke's law), his book Micrographia, published in 1665 and for first applying the word cell to describe the basic unit of life. In fact, it was Hooke who coined the term cells: the boxlike cells of cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery. Hooke also reported seeing similar structures in wood and in other plants. Hooke also famously described a fly's eye. No portrait survives of Robert Hooke. His name is somewhat obscure today, due in part to the enmity of his famous, influential, and extremely vindictive colleague, Sir Isaac Newton. Yet Hooke was perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. Hooke's reputation in the history of biology largely rests on his book Micrographia, published in 1665. Hooke devised the compound microscope and illumination system shown above, one of the best such microscopes of his time, and used it in his demonstrations at the Royal Society's meetings. Hooke's Micrographia. Robert Hooke published Micrographia in 1665. It is his most famous work and is notable for the stunning illustrations, drawn by Hooke himself. Microphagia presents several accounts of Hooke's observations through the use of the microscope. Like many inventions today there are disputes in origins of the original inventors. The same dispute applies to who invented the microscope. Dating back to the first century when glass was first invented, the Roman's were investigating the use of glass and how viewing objects through it, made the objects appear larger.

Robert Hooke was a 17th century natural philosopher -- an early scientist -- noted for a variety of observations of the natural world. But perhaps his most notable discovery came in 1665, when he looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and discovered cells.  Timeline of the Microscope. 14th century: spectacles first made in Italy. 1590: Two Dutch spectacle-makers and father-and-son team, Hans and Zacharias Janssen, create the first microscope. 1667: Robert Hooke 's famous Micrographia is published, which outlines Hooke's various studies using the microscope. 1675: Enter Anton van Leeuwenhoek, who used a microscope with one lens to observe insects and other specimen. Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe bacteria.  - Micrographia, by Robert Hooke (1665). In addition to Hooke's observations, Micrographia is known for its spectacular copperplate engravings of the miniature world, particularly its fold-out plates of insects. The engraving of the louse in particular folds out to four times the size of the book. In fact, it was Hooke who coined the term cells: the boxlike cells of cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery. Hooke also reported seeing similar structures in wood and in other plants. Hooke also famously described a fly's eye. Zacharias Jansen and the first compound microscope. Then, during the 1590's, two Dutch spectacle makers, Zacharias Jansen and his father Hans started experimenting with these lenses. They put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery. Like many inventions today there are disputes in origins of the original inventors. The same dispute applies to who invented the microscope. Dating back to the first century when glass was first invented, the Roman's were investigating the use of glass and how viewing objects through it, made the objects appear larger. Robert Hooke(1635-1703) Robert Hooke was a brilliant British experimental and theoretical scientist who lived and worked in London during the seventeenth century. As a child, Hooke suffered from a devastating case of smallpox that left him physically and emotionally scarred for the rest of his life.
