The contactless, non-destructive, and accurate examination of artworks is crucial at the beginning of any conservation/restoration project, whether it be for cleaning, studying or authenticating. For the conservator, who aims for the least invasive intervention possible, the results of the diagnostic examinations are fundamental to understand where and how to intervene, thus planning the most appropriate operations.
The Dino-lite microscope, portable and allowing high magnification and transmission to a screen in excellent image quality, offers the maneuverability and level of detail necessary to comfortably examine even very large paintings in situ.
Fine cracks, complex painting techniques and brushstrokes, specificity of pigments or signatures that have faded over the centuries, are all unsuspected and invisible to the naked eye, until the Dino-lite microscope reveals them accurately, providing useful information for both restoration work and historical research.
