Course: Archimedes – scanner for Art

CHSOS  has developed Archimedes, the multipurpose scanner for Art Diagnostics. It is a modular low-cost, mobile, and lightweight scanner that can accommodate a number of diagnostic imaging methods. such as Technical photography, Infrared Reflectography, and Multispectral Imaging.
This scanner is used to acquire high-resolution imaging of library and archival assets such as manuscripts, prints, and drawings that need to be kept flat on a table. This scanner moves with high resolution (0.1 mm) and an imaging camera (weight up to 3 Kgs) over the document which can safely rest on the table. It can scan a maximum area of 65 x 65 cm and it can be connected to a computer to control the most appropriate XY movements.
