Conservation Technologies

• National Center for Preservation Technology and Training " ... defined preservation technology as “any equipment, methods, and techniques that can be applied to the discovery, analysis, interpretation, restoration, conservation, protection, and management of prehistoric and historic sites, structures, and landscapes.”

  • Spectron-Optel Inc. Benchtop Wavelength X-ray Spectrometers Spectroscans have the same analytical capabilities as big stationary XRF spectrometers. The basic model determines in several minutes 73 chemical elements from Ca to U in the concentration range from 0.0001 to 100% without special sample preparation. Supplied methods of sample preparation move the detection limit down to 0.000001%.
    
    
  • Energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometers its rapid non-destructive, multi-element determiniations from ppm to high weight percent of elements from oxygen through uranium. It can perfom these measurements across a wide array of sample matrices: liquids, solids, slurries, powders, pastes, and thin films.
