We've just completed our @iperion_hs #molab analysis of the Hunt Frieze on the tomb of King Philip II- father of Alexander the Great- in Vergina, Greece. Here, we conducted remote Raman analysis through the protective glass, while the museum remained open to visitors😀

It's been a busy summer! ISAAC #molab has visited @nasjonalmuseet in Oslo to investigate acrylic varnish removal on paintings & analysed enamels @britishmuseum. We're now in Greece partnering with @EIEgr to conduct non-invasive imaging & analysis on several archaeological sites😍

We're in Munich for the #O3A conference Optics for Art, Architecture, and Archaeology! Well done to PhD students Jake and Amelia for their fantastic presentations 👏

📢A new @librarycongress blog post discusses the curatorial and preservation perspective of our recent #molab visit as part of the International @ahrcpress and @NEHgov funded Lima to Canton #heritageresearch project. Read more 👇 blogs.loc.gov/preservation/2… @NTUResearch @NTUPVCI

Congratulations to our PhD student Amelia for a successful oral presentation *and* poster presentation at #Technart2023 this week. What a 🌟 @ntu_research; @CNRsocial_ ; #phdlife; #academictwitter; #HeritageScience

Our #molab summer visit to La Sala delle Asse in Milan, analysing original Leonardo da Vinci wall paintings, will be presented today at #Technart2023 by our @royalsociety Exchange Project collaborators @CNRsocial_ Read our 2022 Summer Road Trip diary: bit.ly/3NWQ8qA

ISAAC Mobile Lab @ahrcpress 'Lima to Canton' #HeritageResearch trip 🇺🇸 Stop 2: @NatAsianArt, Washington Mission: Pigment analysis of 18th & 19C Chinese hanging silk scrolls and an album leaf by XRF, PRISMS, FORS, FTIR, Raman & microscopy Blog update: bit.ly/3Gaz3ob

ISAAC Mobile Lab @ahrcpress 'Lima to Canton' #HeritageResearch trip 🇺🇸 Stop 1: @IULillyLibrary, University of Indiana Mission: Raman, FORS and microscopy analysis of Chinese export paintings of Peruvian subjects Read more: bit.ly/3Gaz3ob @ntu_research @NTUPVCI

New fully funded PhD studentship linked to the ISAAC Lab now open for applications! "Art, soft matter and SANS: Combining Optical Coherence Tomography and Scattering Methods for Art Conservation Applications" bit.ly/3Me8bHW

We're excited! The ISAAC Mobile Lab is heading to the USA this Easter, collecting data from Peruvian and Chinese paintings as part of the AHRC funded From Lima to Canton & Beyond research project. @ntu_research @ahrcpress @NTUPVCI bit.ly/3Gaz3ob

In the Waddesdon Bequest, gallery 2a @britishmuseum, Rebecca, our Cultural Heritage Research peak funded PhD student, is using our SWIR hyperspectral imaging system to analyse Limoges enamels directly through the glass display case.

Our hybrid OCT & Microscopic Hyperspectral Imaging system, developed during an @ahrcpress Collaborative Doctoral Project with @NationalGallery, providing layer by layer identification of varnish and glaze on a painting. @NTUResearch @IconPaintings @NTUPVCI @HertSci_UK @ErihsEu

The roll is being imaged with our PRISMS spectral imaging system in a novel setup for large scroll-like manuscripts to produce not only high resolution colour images but also capture ink and paint information and any 'hidden' writings and drawings. @ntuhum @NTUPVCI @ErihsEu

The roll has arrived! For the first time the mobile lab can stay at home. The Roll Chronicle, a 15th century genealogical roll in the collection of the Society of Antiquaries of London, is over 12m long and presents unique challenges for high resolution imaging. @ntu_research

We're very excited today awaiting the arrival of the Roll Chronicle! In a pioneering new study, researchers at NTU will examine, digitise and analyse this precious genealogical roll dating to the Wars of the Roses. sal.org.uk/collections/explo…
