Question

Which scientists melted strands of spun glass to create lenses to simulate a microscope? He was the first person to see outlines of cells.

Answer 1

The scientist who melted glass to simulate a microscope was Robert Hooke, in 1660. He was an English physicist, and he looked at insects and handheld objects. He named the cell for the cell of a monk, because to him it appeared to be a self-contained room.
