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 examination and documentation and has published an online Database of reflectance spectra of historical pigments acquired with a miniaturized spectrometer.
Since 1967 Photonics Spectra magazine has defined the science and industry of photonics, providing both technical and practical information for every aspect of the global industry and promoting an international dialogue among the engineers, scientists and end users.
