OpenStudy (nebi):

OpenStudy (fools101):

your Welcome u have a nice day Nebi ^ ^.

OpenStudy (nebi):

Technically... Zacharias Jansen, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, and Robert Hooke didn't have the technology to use a camera. They all used microscopes. And they didn't have electron microscopes because that was way beyond the type of power they had in their time. So LOGICALLY and OBVIOUSLY the answer i would have said would be C- the light microscope. They had candles and mirrors to work with... so the true answer is C. But I said A-camera because it said that on this website: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_essential_instrument_for_the_cell_theory

OpenStudy (anonymous):

light microscope. the microscope was invented and in the same time cell theory came to 'light'.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is C. Robert Hooke never had access to the camera or the electon microscope like nebi said.
