Hooke was actually the first person to view cells under a microscope. Thus, he coined the term 'cell' as it's now used in biology. He published Micrographia in which Hooke's drawings show the detailed shape and structure of a thinly sliced piece of cork. Hooke named these cells because it reminded him of the rooms in which monks lived in called cells. The cover of Robert Hooke's Micrographia, published in 1665.
