A New Platform for Non-Invasive Analysis of Painted Surfaces: Integrating 3D Scanning and SSE TM Raman Mapping

A recent study, “Spatially registered 3D and sequentially shifted Raman mapping for painted surface characterization“, presents a new platform that integrates 3D surface scanning with SSETM Raman mapping to analyse painted surfaces non-invasively and with high spatial accuracy. Designed for hardware-registered data acquisition, the system enables automated macro-Raman acquisition, ensuring precise focus and co-registration even […]

Exploring the Secrets of a Roman Fresco at Baia Castle

In October 2025, Valentina Di Sarno and Alessandra Rocco, researchers at CNR-INO, together with colleagues from CNR-ISASI and CNR-IREA, started a collaboration with Vivi Tornari and Michael Andrianakis from IESL-FORTH to analyse a Roman fresco inside the Baia Castle, Naples. The non-invasive investigations were carried out using a range of advanced diagnostic techniques, including holographic […]
