Roberto A. Dabdoub

Roberto Dabdoub (born Roberto Dabdoub Sosa, October 31, 1944) Is a Honduran-born American [1]genetic scientist [2]who became a writer and photographer. He is best known for his work in Photomicrography and Electrophotography.

Using a microscope and objects both familiar and bizarre, he captures images of beauty mixing science and photography, through a revolutionary process of photomicrography. His work is an examination of the relationship between art and science. His vision yields a vividly abstract look into the world on its smallest level.

Dabdoub's images have been featured on many popular publications in the USA and abroad and the subject of a special report in CNN (1978). Many of his images were used to sport a variety of fashion designs and to the creation of the neckwear line "Micro Shots" 1980 [3] by “Wemco”. One of the world's Largest manufacturers of neckwear. The neckwear was also sold under other designers labels, such as Jesuis, 7TH Avenue, Wembley, and Oscar de la Renta. His name and the description of the product were written on the label of every necktie and fashion product made. In 1977, he combined a high-frequency generator-oscillator in a compound microscope. He used this devise to capture many of his molecular designs. His photographs are included in the permanent collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art, [4]published in "World" The National Geographic Society[5] and the subject of a hard cover book "Micro Art" [6] by Pelican Publishing Co. The bookwas presented at NOMA, in 2003. He donated all proceeds from the sale of his images and designs to cancer and AIDS research. In his early 30s, Dabdoub became a columnist for "Dixie”, the New Orleans Times Picayune[7] Sunday Magazine. He also contributed articles and photographs to the newspape
