cell theory
In biology, the cell theory is a scientific theory that describes the properties of cells, which are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and the basic unit of reproduction. The cell theory is a widely accepted explanation of the relationship between cells and living things.
The three main ideas to the cell theory are:
1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the most basic unit of structure, function, and organization in all organisms.
3. All cells arise from pre-existing, living cells

Theodor Schwann
Born on December 7, 1810, Theodore Schwaan was a German physiologist. His many contributions to biology include the development of cell theory, and the discovery of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Born on October 24, 1632 Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was considered to be the first microbiologist. He is best known for his work on the improvement of the microscope and for his contributions in the establishment of microbiology. Using his handcrafted microscopes, he was the first to observe and describe single-celled organisms, which he referred to as animalcules. They are now referred to as microorganisms. He was also the first to record microscopic observations of muscle fibers, bacteria, spermatozoa, and blood flow in capillaries (small blood vessels).

He is credited with important discoveries. His most widely known scientific contribution is his cell theory, which built on the work of Theodor Schwann. He is cited as the first to recognize leukemia cells.
