Fixed laboratories

FIXED LABORATORIES

Fixed laboratories are medium and large-scale facilities that allow sophisticated scientific investigations to be carried out on samples or objects. The aim is to detect their microstructures and chemical compositions, analyzing from inside the ancient techniques used to create the object, the materials, as well as alterations and degradation phenomena.

La Call for proposals lanciata a Febbraio 2023 con scadenza 31 Marzo 2023, non prevede il coinvolgimento dei Laboratori fissi che, rientreranno a partire dalle prossime call.

CHNet – Network INFN per i Beni Culturali

chnet.infn.it

With its fixed laboratories, CHNet-INFN provides the instrumentation of the INFN units involved in the network, both in terms of dating and for the analysis of materials.

Dating is provided by radiocarbon coupled with accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and luminescence (thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence).

The compositional elemental analysis can be performed both with acceleration techniques (Ion Beam Analysis), and with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (ED-XRF) and X-ray micro fluorescence imaging. Other imaging techniques are available, such as tomography and micro tomography and digital radiography. Surface analysis is also possible using ToF-SIMS spectrometry and high-resolution 3D profilometry.
