The W.M.  Keck Dynamic Image Analysis Facility provides the most advanced two dimensional and three dimensional dynamic image analysis systems now available in the world for reconstructing and motion analyzing the dynamics of organs, tissues, cells and subcellular compartments. The Facility has two missions, first, to continue to develop both hardware and software for advanced 2D and 3D reconstruction and motion analysis systems, and second, to provide the scientific community with access to these emerging technologies.  The three systems include the two dimensional dynamic image analysis system 2D-DIAS, the three dimensional dynamic image analysis system 3D-DIAS, and the dynamic echocardiogram analysis system DEAS.  If you are a biomedical research scientist interested in some form of motility, you may be interested in visiting the Keck Facility.
