About
Bob Asselbergh is a leading figure in the advancement of three-dimensional electron microscopy (3D EM) for the biological sciences. His primary research focuses on pushing the boundaries of imaging technology to reveal the intricate, nanoscale architecture of cells and tissues. Asselbergh’s most cited work, "Developing 3D SEM in a broad biological context" (2015, 107 citations), is a landmark contribution that demonstrates how modern scanning electron microscopy can be transformed from a surface-imaging tool into a powerful method for volumetric analysis. By providing a practical framework for applying 3D SEM across diverse biological systems, his research has enabled scientists to visualize complex cellular structures—from synaptic connections to organelle networks—in unprecedented detail. This work has had a profound impact on the field, bridging the gap between traditional electron microscopy and modern computational reconstruction. Through his efforts, Asselbergh has helped democratize access to high-resolution 3D imaging, making it a more accessible and versatile tool for researchers exploring the fundamental architecture of life.
