Robert Hooke was a 17th-century English scientist known for his contributions to various fields, including physics, biology, and astronomy. He is best remembered for his work in microscopy, where he coined the term “cell” after observing the structure of cork under a microscope. His book, *Micrographia*, published in 1665, showcased his detailed observations and drawings of microscopic life. In addition to his work in microscopy, Hooke made significant advancements in the study of elasticity, formulating Hooke's Law, which describes the relationship between the force applied to a spring and its extension. He also collaborated with notable figures like Isaac Newton and contributed to the development of the scientific method.
