FIRST and SECOND DAY:
Subject: Technical Photography
Technical photography represents a collection of images taken with a modified digital camera sensitive to the spectral range (about 360 – 1000 nm). Different lighting sources and filters are used to acquire a selection of technical images, with each one providing different information about the object under examination.
THIRD DAY:
Subject: Reflectance spectroscopy
Reflectance spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful portable technique for
the identification of pigments. An RS spectrum shows the ratio between the intensity of the reflected light and the incident light for each wavelength. The RS spectra can provide information useful for pigment identification.
This was the second Training program we propose for the IFLA/PAC Regional Center for Arab Countries and the Middle East. The first one was hosted by Qatar National Library in March 2018. Click HERE
