Macroscale multimodal imaging reveals ancient painting production technology and the vogue in Greco-Roman Egypt. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Macroscale multimodal chemical imaging combining hyperspectral diffuse reflectance (400-2500 nm), luminescence (400-1000 nm), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF, 2 to 25 keV) data, is uniquely equipped for noninvasive characterization of heterogeneous complex ...

Modular MA-XRF scanner potentialities and further advances

open access: yes, 2020
In Heritage Science applications, in-situ and non-destructive analyses are commonly preferred. The valuable nature of historical objects often hinders the possibility of either sample or transport them into laboratories. Macro X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) has become widespread in the archaeometry field, due to its non-destructive and non-invasive ...
