Robert Hooke observed plant tissues under a simple magnifying lens in 1665 and described them as being made up of "little boxes" or cells. In 1667, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek used a simple single-lens microscope of his own design at magnifications of 200-300x to observe microorganisms like bacteria and protozoa in samples such as tooth plaque, rain water, and feces, becoming the first to observe living cells. The idea that life could arise spontaneously from nonliving matter, known as spontaneous generation, existed until experiments in the 18th century helped disprove this belief.
