The first person to see cells was Robert Hooke in 1665. He was looking at a thin slice of cork through a microscope and he found found what he described as "tiny rooms" that he called cells (as that is what some small rooms are called). However, he believed that cells only existed in plants, not animals and bacteria.But if you are talking about animal cells, they were discovered by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who was observing pond water with his microscope and saw single cell organisms which he called "animalcules" or animal molecules. He also disproved the theory of spontaneous generation.
