#WorldHeritageDay_2024 'The conservation & restoration of monuments must have recourse to all the sciences and techniques which can contribute to the study and safeguarding of the architectural heritage.' Venice Charter 1964. See our Mobile Lab projects: bit.ly/3Q808xl

The ISAAC Lab is @synchroSOLEIL in Paris this week, conducting x-ray experiments on the PUMA beamline to define safe parameters for instrumental analysis of murals, easel paintings and other cultural heritage materials. bit.ly/3IMqAIL @NTUResearch @NTUPVCI

We've just completed our @iperion_hs #molab analysis of the Hunt Frieze on the tomb of King Philip II- father of Alexander the Great- in Vergina, Greece. Here, we conducted remote Raman analysis through the protective glass, while the museum remained open to visitors😀

It's been a busy summer! ISAAC #molab has visited @nasjonalmuseet in Oslo to investigate acrylic varnish removal on paintings & analysed enamels @britishmuseum. We're now in Greece partnering with @EIEgr to conduct non-invasive imaging & analysis on several archaeological sites😍

We're in Munich for the #O3A conference Optics for Art, Architecture, and Archaeology! Well done to PhD students Jake and Amelia for their fantastic presentations 👏

Congratulations to our PhD student Amelia for a successful oral presentation *and* poster presentation at #Technart2023 this week. What a 🌟 @ntu_research; @CNRsocial_ ; #phdlife; #academictwitter; #HeritageScience

Our #molab summer visit to La Sala delle Asse in Milan, analysing original Leonardo da Vinci wall paintings, will be presented today at #Technart2023 by our @royalsociety Exchange Project collaborators @CNRsocial_ Read our 2022 Summer Road Trip diary: bit.ly/3NWQ8qA

In the Waddesdon Bequest, gallery 2a @britishmuseum, Rebecca, our Cultural Heritage Research peak funded PhD student, is using our SWIR hyperspectral imaging system to analyse Limoges enamels directly through the glass display case.

Our hybrid OCT & Microscopic Hyperspectral Imaging system, developed during an @ahrcpress Collaborative Doctoral Project with @NationalGallery, providing layer by layer identification of varnish and glaze on a painting. @NTUResearch @IconPaintings @NTUPVCI @HertSci_UK @ErihsEu

The roll is being imaged with our PRISMS spectral imaging system in a novel setup for large scroll-like manuscripts to produce not only high resolution colour images but also capture ink and paint information and any 'hidden' writings and drawings. @ntuhum @NTUPVCI @ErihsEu

The roll has arrived! For the first time the mobile lab can stay at home. The Roll Chronicle, a 15th century genealogical roll in the collection of the Society of Antiquaries of London, is over 12m long and presents unique challenges for high resolution imaging. @ntu_research
