Leaf movement imagingKujataThe original, low-cost system for timelapse analysis of plant growth uses 14 security video cameras controlled by a single PC, known as the "Kujata". The Kujata system was designed for the Kay lab at the University of Virgina, in 1994, and is available custom-built from Mark Hyett (mhyett@std.saic.com). It is efficient but no longer current technology, in part because it is based on the VESA video standard. The leaf movement and hypocotyl videos were taken with this system. In 1999-2000, Andrew Millar and Kieron Edwards developed a new version known as KujaMorph, which uses almost entirely standard components under the control of MetaMorph software. Video technology is moving quickly and to much lower costs, so there should (by 2003) be a better solution for someone who wants to put one together, perhaps based on USB web cameras ? KujaMorph
