Just delivered Gorgias, our Reflectance spectroscopy system, to the Royal Library of Belgium. This was the first delivery of our new deal: Gorgias comes with its own laptop! We prepare the laptop with all the software to acquire spectra and edit them appropriately for publication. We also include the reflectance spectra database of pigments. This
Reflectance Spectroscopy is a powerful method for pigments identification even for works of art on paper. We just delivered on Oct 24th a full day Training and a Gorgias Spectrometer system to the Paper Conservation Department of the National Archives of the Netherlands in The Hague. Read and learn more about Reflectance Spectroscopy and our
We just performed a diagnostics service for a statue of St. Elijah, in Comiso, Sicily. This is a good opportunity for our art conservation community to review technical photography, spectroscopy, and other tools for the documentation of antique statues, a preparatory examination for the conservation treatment which is undertaken by the Conservation Studio Tiziana Cilia
How to identify and map covered paints on translucent support, such as canvases? We just published: A. Cosentino “Transmittance spectroscopy and transmitted multispectral imaging to map covered paints” Conservar Património 24, 37-45, 2016. doi:10.14568/cp2015021 Transmitted spectroscopy and transmitted multispectral imaging in the 400-900 nm range have been applied for the mapping and tentatively identification of
Read this great article on Photonics Spectra! Spectroscopy: Going Small to Get the Whole Picture Now miniaturized spectrometers are also used in Art Conservation. CHSOS illustrates in this paper the possibilities that miniaturization will bring in the near future of on-site art examination. CHSOS has been disseminating the use of innovative, affordable and sustainable technologies for art
