We just tested the Xenics Xeva-2.35-320 TE4, a 320 x 256 pixels T2SL (Type II Super Lattice) camera. It is sensitive from 1000 to 2350 nm and it is a promising tool for art examination. We evaluated its performance on our pigments checker and we will soon publish the results. In order to evaluate in detail the capacity
