This workshop hosted by the Art, Archaeology and Conservation Science and the Basic Science divisions of ACerS will bring students and other interested researchers from a variety of disciplines (engineering, art history, and archaeology) in contact with the leading scientists working in the field of synchrotron analysis of cultural heritage. Participants will learn about the latest research on the use of synchrotrons to analyze cultural heritage, obtain hands on experience with the examination and treatment of synchrotron derived data as taught by Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) staff scientists, and have a tour of the SSRL facility with a particular emphasis on the imaging microscopes at beamlines 2-3, 10-2, and 14-3. |
