Research can be beautiful!

While examining the glue joints in plywood, students at the CICS @th_koeln applied dye to make individual materials more visually distinct. Sometimes, this can lead to fascinating and frankly #beautiful images, when viewed through a #microscope.

[YoungConservators @YConservators]

Do you also sometimes feel watched when working...?
As a conservator you get close to objects and discover beautiful details while examining and working on them, like this beautiful eye!

Colourful book edges are pretty to look at but can also be dangerous when containing arsenic pigments. In this bachelor thesis, possible treatments were tested on non-arsenic mock-ups. Find out more:

Before & after: delicate carved details of an object which has been damaged and severely soiled during the flooding of the #Ahr valley in Germany in 2021. It belongs to a series of #art and #cultural objects that are still undergoing #conservation treatments.

Sometimes you find treasures in trash!
This swing chair was supposed to be discarded because of the broken seat. Instead, it ended up with a conservator who is happy to take care of it.

Menthol on #paper - time lapse of the sublimation process. Students at @th_koeln tested different materials that sublimate. They pass directly from the solid to the gaseous aggregate state. That is used in #conservation for various temporary treatments.

@modartconserve You're completely right, congratulations!😊💐

The devil is in the detail!
At first sight the punched background of the “Annunciation” seems made of simple dots. Under the microscope however, the punch turns out to have been split in two halves.
Have seen punch marks like these before?
