===- Schleiden was a well educated man that grew up in Germany, and as educated at the University of Jena in Germany. After his education he struck up a love for botany that became a passion for him, he went on to become a professor at the University of Jena where he was taught. In 1844 he married a woman named Bertha Mirus, and later his second wife Therese Merezoll In 1863 he became A professor at the University of Dorpat. ===

- While working at the University of Jena, Schleiden further researched plants and their structure.

- He published a book on his work in 1838 called //Contributions to our knowledge of Phytogenesis.// In this work he recognized that all parts of plants are made up of cells.
|| ===- These beliefs that all plant were made up of cells, were a major contribution to today's cell theory. This along with Schwann's theory that all animals are made u p of cells form the modern cell theory that states that all organisms are made up of cells. Along with these discoveries He recognized the importance of the cell nucleus, discovered by Robert Brown and its use in cell division. ===

=== - Although Schleiden was seen as a leading botanist, not everyone recognized his findings. For instance Schwann's book on cells in organisms, Schleiden was not credited for the discovery of cells in plants. However in the time he was seen as the foremost botanist that had recognized that all plants were made up of cells. === ===- Schleiden used a compound microscope. He likely used a microscope that contained the improvements that were made by Joseph Jackson Lister that improved the quality of the microscope. He used some of the most high quality microscopes of his time and would have had some of the best lenses, a compound microscope could offer at the time. === || ===- Schleiden used a compound microscope.

===-Schleiden made few advances apart from his findings in the Botanist community. He helped to greatly advance the cell theory that we use event to this day, and is noted for recognizing the importance of the cell nucleus in cell division. His studies made him one of the leading people in the field of plant and cell research. Although he was at the front of these fields he did not really receive too much credit or honors for his work.===

===- Matthias Schleiden could be seen as the Steve Wozniak of the cell theory. They are similar because Schleiden co-founded the cell theory that we accept today. He was not the last person to add on to or popularize the cell theory but him and===
