ART DIAGNOSTICS
Digital UV Fluorescence

Multispectral CCD acquisition

 

This is a digital color acquisition of UV induced visibile fluorescence. It is performed with a scientific cooled digital CCD camera, a set of 8 narrow band (50 nm) interferential filters, in the 350-780 nm range.

The radiation source is provided by high pressure Mercury lamps with high UV emission and low emission in the visible range. The lamps may be additionally equipped with a visible light blocking filter.

The acquisition is performed with a standardized procedure, implying the device prior lab calibration, an on-site calibration, stable set-up, sensitivity, non auto fluorescent filters, and radiation source, whose characteristics are mentioned in the technical report. This will be provided together with the acquired and processed data.

Data processing will be performed in order to enhance data fruition, e.g. by differentiating and spatially locating the various homogeneous areas, and comparing them with the ones in our database, in order to identify the different materials. This method is specifically designed for this.

8 images, one for each band plus a recombined panchromatic image, will be provided with 8 and 16 bit resolution, in raw and tiff format (or similar, as agreed upon) on a CD or DVD.

If the acquisition consists of more than one image, a mosaic of the various images will be performed and provided.

Art-Test has a portable Dark Room in case it be not easy to darken the environment where to perform the acquisitions.

Average acquisition time: 2h/acquisition.

RGB CCD acquisition

 

This is digital color acquisition of UV induced visibile fluorescence. It is performed with a scientific cooled digital CCD camera and a set of RGB filters.

The radiation source is provided by high pressure Mercury lamps with high UV emission and low emission in the visible range. The lamps may be additionally equipped with a visible light blocking filter.

The acquisition is performed with a standardized procedure, implying the device prior lab calibration, an on-site calibration, non auto fluorescent filters, stable set-up, sensitivity, and radiation source, whose characteristics are mentioned in the technical report. This will be provided together with the acquired and processed data.

Images will be provided with 8 and 16 bit resolution, in raw and tiff format (or similar, as agreed upon) on a CD or DVD. If the acquisition consists of more than one image, a mosaic of the various images will be performed and provided.

Print of the images can be provided upon request*.

Art-Test has a portable Dark Room in case it be not easy to darken the environment where to perform the acquisitions.

Average acquisition time: 1h/acquisition.
