Important technological advancements necessary before the cell theory was developed include the invention of the compound microscope, which allowed scientists to observe and study cells. Additionally, improvements in microscopic techniques and staining methods were crucial for distinguishing different cell structures and components. The development of better preservation techniques for tissues and cells also played a key role in advancing the understanding of cellular biology.
The people who delivered ice were called icemen. They would deliver blocks of ice to homes and businesses for use in ice boxes or ice chests before the invention of refrigerators.
