CHSOS just added 3D scanning by Structured Light using a mini (pico) projector coupled with the “3D scanning software” developed by Daniel Moreno and Gabriel Taubin. The free software can be downloaded from Brown University School of Engineering. I need to thank Daniel for his support with the software. Pico projectors are extremely small: a fraction
CHSOS just added a miniaturized spectrometer to its instrumentation. This system is equivalent to the ones tested already by CHSOS (Ocean Optics, BWTEK) and it will be used for pigments identification following the FORS (Fiber Optics Reflectance Spectroscopy) method. CHSOS chose a ASEQ LR1 spectrometer (300-1000 nm, 2nm resolution with 100um slit) This spectrometer weights just 430 gr and
CHSOS just added STACKSHOT to its instruments in order to document small artistic and historical objects. STACKSHOT is an automated macro rail for focus stacking and it’s coupled with Helicon Remote and Helicon Focus to shoot and elaborate the stacked images. Focus stacking macro photography Photographing small objects that are flat is pretty simple and straightforward. On
Great opportunity! CHSOS has scheduled its April Training program close to TECHNART conference in Catania, Sicily. Participants while in Catania can also enjoy TECHNART, an international conference on Non-destructive and microanalytical techniques in art and cultural heritage. “The aim of TECHNART 2015 is to provide a scientific forum to present and promote the use of analytical spectroscopy
CHSOS is promoting collaborations between the Sicilian Carts Museum and Research institutions. This museum is located in Aci Sant’Antonio (Sicily) where CHSOS operates. CHSOS wants to contribute to the museum’s development and offers itself as an intermediary between this local institution and research centers which are looking for museums to test their innovative solutions.
