The Beckman Institute's Biomedical Imaging Center (BIC) is home to a wide variety of research programs, providing facilities, equipment, and training for research on nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. A recent initiative of the Center is the integration of magnetic resonance methods with simultaneous optical imaging. It became a unit of the Beckman Institute in the summer of 2002, fostering access to a wide variety of resources.

Serving over 400 researchers from the Beckman Institute and nearly every department on campus, the Imaging Technology Group (ITG) provides state-of-the-art facilities in the Microscopy Suite and the Visualization, Media, and Imaging Laboratory. A secondary focus of the group is to develop advanced imaging technologies, with an emphasis on projects in remote scientific instrumentation.

The Integrated Systems Laboratory (ISL) is a Beckman Institute facility for advancing scientific understanding of human-computer interactions. As an Institute-wide facility, the ISL uses its expertise in the integration of advanced visualization, sonification, and interface technologies to enable researchers to conduct experiments in human multi-modal perception and cognition, cognitive and motor development, and multi-dimensional dataset visualization.
