Laser cleaning systems and set-ups
A series of laser cleaning systems are available at IESL-FORTH laboratories.
Raman spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy gives details about the molecular structure of samples.
LMnt1 series, LIBS Spectroscopy
Laser Indused Breakdown Spectrscopic Instruments .
IRIS series
A versatile instrument for imaging.
DHSPI series, coherent metrology
DHSPI systems are portable laser-interferometry instruments.
Laser Cleaning
Surface cleaning, based on laser ablation, is particularly effective for the controlled and selective removal of altered over-layers and unwanted accumulations in a variety of CH substrates (i.e. stonework, easel paintings, icons as well as glass and metal objects).
Material Analysis
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) provides insight on the identity and composition of materials in Cultural Heritage objects.
Raman Spectroscopy gives analytical information on the molecular structure of materials
