Our Experience at IConS 2024: Highlighting the Role of Spectroscopic Methods in Archaeology

by ImageScience Admin

We had the privilege of attending the IConS 2024 Conference, held at the magnificent Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. This annual event brings together leading experts from various fields, and we were thrilled to support one of our clients, László Aradi, who presented groundbreaking research during the conference.

László Aradi, representing the National Institute of Archaeology at the Hungarian National Museum Public Collection Centre, delivered a thought-provoking presentation titled “Expanding SEM analyses with spectroscopic methods: study of painted surfaces in the Archaeometry Laboratory.” His research explored how combining SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) with advanced spectroscopic methods enhances the study of historical painted surfaces.

One of the key tools highlighted in László’s presentation was the Renishaw Raman microscope. This cutting-edge technology played an essential role in achieving the detailed spectroscopic analysis of painted surfaces, providing unparalleled insights into the material composition of ancient artifacts. Thanks to the Raman microscope, the Archaeometry Laboratory was able to identify pigments, binders, and degradation products, significantly expanding the scope of traditional SEM analyses.

We are incredibly proud to have had László Aradi represent the ongoing innovative work taking place in the Archaeometry Laboratory. His presentation demonstrated how integrating spectroscopic methods with SEM technology can open new doors in archaeological research, offering a more comprehensive understanding of cultural heritage artifacts.

Attending IConS 2024 was an enriching experience, and we look forward to further collaborations and exploring more cutting-edge research in the future.
