| dynamic range | <microscopy> In video and other electronic equipment and in photographic emulsions, the ratio of the maximum to minimum signal levels that introduce no more than acceptable levels of signal amplitude distortions. (05 Aug 1998) |
| dynamic refraction | Refraction of the eye during accommodation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dynamic relations | Relative movements between two objects, e.g., the relationship of the mandible to the maxillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dynamic school | A group of theorists founded by Stahl, who professed the belief that all vital action is the result of an internal force independent of anything external to the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
