Micrographia: or some Physiological Descriptions
Micrographia: or some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies made by Magnifying Glasses. With Observations and Inquiries thereupon.
First edition, first issue, of this “early landmark in microscopy, containing the first illustration of cells [plate xi]” (Horblit).
The Micrographia, published under the aegis of the Royal Society, Hooke’s observations were the first to be carried out with an improved compound microscope, and the first to describe the microscopic structure of tissue with the term “cell”. The book reproduces the almost frantic series of observations made by Hooke in 1663 and 1664 as the young scientist (he was still in his twenties) peered through the lenses of his new microscope at anything he could find.
