TECHNICAL STUDIES AND ANALYSES

We use several methods of examination and analysis to record the current condition and gain a better understanding of the works.

Colaboration with the Department of Conservation and Restoration from NOVA School of Science and Technology, and other partner institutions, allow us access to equipment and analytical instrumentation. With these resources and specific training, we perform characterisation studies of techniques and materials of works of art.

Available equipment: Optical Microscope | µ-EDXRF | FTIR-ATR | µ-Raman | etc.

The use of these techniques allows us to identify the materials used in the works, to assess their condition more accurately, and as such, to define the best strategy for conservation and restoration.
