Hooke Laboratories is named after Robert Hooke, F.R.S. (1635-1703), the world's first professional scientist and discoverer of the biological cell.
Robert Hooke is best remembered today as the author of Micrographia (London, 1665), the first publication of observations and experiments made using a microscope, and for Hooke's Law of Elasticity. However, Hooke was passionately interested in all branches of science, as well as architecture, mechanics, and measurement.
In his early years, Hooke was best known as an instrument maker par excellence – he was employed by Robert Boyle to construct his “Pneumatical Engine” (vacuum pump), and built the first Gregorian telescope for James Gregory.
Hooke was an early Fellow of the (British) Royal Society, and served as its first Curator of Experiments, performing three to four major experiments each week to be reported to the Society. Later, he served as Secretary to the Royal Society.
In addition to his scientific pursuits, Hooke somehow found time to act as Surveyor of the City of London, laying out the rebuilding after the Great Fire, and as a partner inChristopher Wren's architectural firm. Among Hooke's designs are the Royal College of Physicians, Bethlem Hospital (Bedlam), and theMonument of London – today still the tallest isolated stone column in the world, Hooke designed it to double as an astronomical instrument, with a hole running through the 202 foot height of the building, leading to a basement observatory.
