Hooke's cells
were
really the outer layers
of dead cork cells.
Hooke's microscope
and his drawing
of the cork cells
are
shown
in
Figure 1
.
Hooke also
looked
at thin slices
of living plants.
He
saw
that they too
were
made
of cells.
Some cells
were
even
filled
with "juice."
The "juicy" cells
were
living cells.
Hooke also
looked
at feathers,
fish scales,
and the eyes of houseflies.
