XRF machine scanning manuscript

XRF session in Hamburg

EMEL collaborated with the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) in a fascinating XRF data collection session in Hamburg (Germany), for the FWF funded project “The Vienna Basilica Palimpsests“.

Imaging manuscripts using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) allows us to analyze a wide range of elements in an non-invasive approach, which assists our efforts in text recovery of written artifacts.
