- Additional information
- The output reports the first remote stand-off Raman spectroscopy instrument designed specifically to identify materials on large paintings and cultural monuments. Operating non-invasively at distances of 3-15 m, this instrument has been used to identify pigments on wall paintings at St. Barnabas Cathedral to find Pugin’s original paintings (National Heritage Lottery funded project OH-18-02277) and mapping salt efflorescence on walls for English Heritage (David.Thickett@english-heritage.org.uk). It is part of a mobile lab facility for heritage science researchers in Europe and world-wide through the IPERION HS project (H2020-INFRAIA-2019-1 GA no. 871034; total budget €6M), attracting further infrastructure funding from AHRC (AH/V012460/1, £900k).
