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 visitors๐
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 sites๐
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 ๐
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_
