The first article to be published online from the upcoming themed issue on Synchrotron Radiation in Art and Archaeometry is a Technical Note from Christian Grunewald and co-workers from Berlin, Germany. In this HOT Article they demonstrate how the use of a microscope and an easy algorithm allows the fast determination of the existing geometry of an object being analysed by quantitative synchotron radiation induced X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF).
This themed issue, with Guest Editors Koen Janssens (University of Antwerp), Joris Dik (Delft University of Technology) and Robert van Langh (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam) will highlight the latest research in the area of synchrotron radiation in art and archaeometry.
