David L. Bassett
David Lee Bassett (1913-1966) graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine in 1939.[1] He was an expert of anatomy and dissection at the University of Washington, best known for creating, in collaboration with William Gruber, the 25-volume "Stereoscopic Atlas of Human Anatomy" in 1962. The atlas is a series of paired slides that use Gruber's View-Master three-dimensional viewing system to display a perception of depth and levels of detail that made Bassett's work pioneering.[2] Bassett died soon after from amyloid disease; his materials were used in revisions and other works with permission of his widow Lucille F. Bassett.[3]
