I really think that the cell idea is very far fetched.
Cell images were also suggested by Newbold, who thought that Bacon had not 
only a microscope (!) but a compound one (!!).

The known date of handling of the vms (which must have been after it was 
written, of course) is not consistent with the known development of early 
microscopy, nor with posterior techniques associated with it that are 
necessary to disclose even coarse cell structure (speciment sectioning, 
staining) as suggested those images would depict.

Cheers,

Gabriel
