While not a student of Hegel's, Karl Rosenkranz (1805 – 1879) was Hegel's biographer and a philosopher in his own right.
I was familiar with his Life (Leben) of Hegel (1844) (below), but the quote I’m posting here is from a later book he wrote for Hegel's centennial in 1870 (bottom):
[In the second part of his Encyclopedia,] Hegel attempts to apply dialectics to the scientific treatment of nature. He did this himself in a very imperfect way, but there is no doubt that science will be compelled to come back eventually to this method.
