'''Robert Hooke''' was a famed English scientist, inventor, member of the [[Royal Society]], and manufacturer of instruments.
Hooke was at the forefront of the field of microscopy, and published countless images of magnified organisms in his ''Micrographia''.
He is also credited with discovering [[Hooke's Law]], which describes the magnitude of forces in springs, and proposing the idea of an inverse-square law for gravitation, later used by [[Isaac Newton.]]
