Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anton van Leeuwenhoek was known for his detailed observations of life through his microscope and was the first to describe what we later came to know as cells. Robert Hooke also made important observations through his microscope, but he is best known for his work with springs and the law that bears his name. Matthias Schleiden and J. Purkinje were both important figures in the development of cell theory, but neither sent letters to the Royal Society of London describing their observations.
