Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks VIII

Laser techniques offer possibilities for the examination and conservation of artwork, and for the prevention of cultural heritage. This collection of peer reviewed papers from the 8th International Conference on Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks, Sibiu, Romania, September 21-25, 2009, addresses various aspects of cultural heritage preservation (laser induced phenomenas, laser investigations and recent laboratory studies and onsite applications). The main topics include: #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Innovative approaches in laser cleaning researches and instrumentation development; #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Laser investigation and diagnostics methods; #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; Monitoring, imaging and documentation of artwork. Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks VIIIwill appeal to laser scientists, conservation scientists, scientists in the field of optoelectronics, chemistry, IT and biology, conservators-restorers, architects, art historians, archaeologists, and decision makers in the field of conservation and restoration of artworks.
