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 was a great opportunity to analyse the set of Gujarati miniatures from the Rietberg Museum collection at #SIK_ISEA using our two hyperspectral imaging systems spanning (400-2500nm). Great to work with Alessandra Vichi again and curator Sonika Soni.
