A novel setup, combining two spectroscopic techniques, laser induced breakdown
spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman spectroscopy in a hybrid unit, is described. The work …

In the artwork conservation field, non contact diagnostic and imaging methods are widely
used and most welcomed. In this work a new imaging tool, called Thermal Quasi …

Digital shearography is an interferometric technique, which is often used for defect detection
on composite structures. The measurement is fast and non‐destructive and thus suitable for …

Climate and environmental change may provoke constant microscopic dimensional
alterations to organically composed works of art. The complexity of alterations obstructs the …

Of the methods of scientific investigation that are currently finding their place beside
traditional arthistorical research, holographic and speckle methods are among those that …

Environmental control in galleries and museums is a necessity and is informed by the
knowledge of ongoing processes of deterioration which can threaten the integrity and …

A precise interferometric method for three-dimensional surface measurements in a wide
dynamic range is presented. The method is based on symmetrical two-spacing projection …

The deterioration of wooden panel paintings is of major concern. Sudden environmental and
climate changes can rapidly cause the deterioration of an artwork, either during exhibition in …

In an interferometry process the successful recording of interference fringes is the primary
purpose. A successful interference fringe pattern is formed under strict boundary …

Artworks have a layered structure subjected to alterations caused by various factors. The
monitoring of defects at sub-millimeter scale may be performed by laser interferometric …
