9. Metaphors in Science
The Cell
The word cell comes from the Latin
cellula, meaning "a small room". The
descriptive term for the smallest living
biological structure was coined by Robert
Hooke in a book he published in 1665 when
he compared the cork cells he saw through his
microscope to the small rooms monks lived in.
"... I could exceedingly plainly perceive it to be all perforated and
porous, much like a Honey-comb, but that the pores of it were not regular
[..] these pores, or cells, [..] were indeed the first microscopical pores
I ever saw, and perhaps, that were ever seen, for I had not met with any
Writer or Person, that had made any mention of them before this. . ." –
Robert Hooke describing his observations on a thin slice of cork.
