Robert Hooke is an English pluridisciplinary scientist born on July 18, 1635 in Freshwater and died March 3, 1703 in London. He is considered one of the greatest experimental scientists of the seventeenth century and one of the key figures of the scientific revolution of the modern era.

His contribution in biology is very important. It is thus attributed the first description of a biological cell made from the observation of plants. Hooke describes in 1665 a fly eye and a cork cell. He was the first to use the word "cell" to designate his discovery.
