The workshop is
devoted to a new
optical
diagnostic method: Optical Coherence Tomography, which originates from
medicine but was later adopted to examination of objects of art for
conservation and inventory purposes. The technique is 100% non-contact
and non-invasive and since its implementation in 2003 was successfully
used to investigate such objects as: paintings, jade artifact,
porcelain and faience, glass and parchment. However, it is very
possible that many fields of applications still remain not exploited.
Since the number of groups presently employing OCT for
examination of various objects of art is limited, it is our intention
to present results from all of them. Therefore, the major expectations
from this event are:
|
•
|
|
to review latest
results, |
|
•
|
|
to define areas of
application, |
|
•
|
|
to find the best way to
disseminate the technique, |
|
•
|
|
additionally, the fully
operational Spectral OCT system especially designed for this purpose
will be provided – everybody is invited to bring her/his sample and to
try the method. |
Participants
are encouraged to submit their own contribution. Go to Materials section for details.
