Inventor,physicist,surveyor,astronomer,biologist,artist ... Robert Hooke was all there and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of his work,he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton,and the great architect,Christopher Wren.
Hooke's early education began at home,under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of 13 ,and from there went to Oxford,where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662,at the age of 28 ,he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London —meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating (M ^) new experiments at the society's weekly meeting. Hooke accepted the job,even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes (消遣) . He invented a compound microscope (显微镜) for this purpose. One day,while observing a cork (软木塞) under a microscope,he saw honeycomb-like structures. There were cells—the smallest units of life. In fact,it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the box-like cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery (修道院) .
Another achievement of Hooke's was his book Micrographia,which introduced the enormous potential (潜力) of the microscope. It contains fascinating drawings of the thing he saw under the microscope. The book also includes,among other things,ideas on gravity,light and combustion (燃烧) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories on these phenome-na (现象) .
Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy,too. A crater (火山口) on the moon is named after him in honour of his services to this branch of science.
