Optical equipment and components for the arts and scientific heritage

Measuring the temporal behavior of dyes under irradiation

The Micro Fading Tester (MFT) is used to monitor and record the degradation of dyes under light in the field of art and heritage science. MFT tests can be used to classify collectibles according to their sensitivity to light.

This approach makes it possible to adopt exhibition policies based on the actual data obtained for each object tested, rather than using general assumptions that could be either too conservative and unnecessarily limit visitor access to the object, or too optimistic and lead to irreversible light damage.

Hyperspectral imaging for the assessment and conservation of cultural heritage

TRIOPTICS France offers hyperspectral imaging solutions: one of the leading analysis tools for the assessment of historical documents and works of art.

Working with even the most fragile and precious works, hyperspectral imaging can accurately, efficiently and above all safely identify the chemical composition of works of art, their degradation or evolution over time, and even the technique used by the artist to create the works.

Artwork digitization solutions from our partner ClydeHSI are designed as complete, end-to-end solutions that perform robust, reliable, accurate and reproducible hyperspectral measurements in seconds. They are fully configurable to suit documents, 3D art structures and paintings of all shapes and sizes.

Each instrument is delivered calibrated and with a certificate of conformity. Spectral calibration is performed, and image performance is tested and demonstrated using calibration targets.
