Authors of papers presented at this conference and within the scope of MDPI Heritage may submit a technically extended version to the Special Issue of Heritage - "Non-Invasive Methods for Analysis and Diagnostic in the Field of Cultural Heritage".
This Special Issue will focus on the latest results concerning the development and the application of non-invasive methods for analysis and diagnostics in the cultural heritage field. The need for detailed information about compositional and structural characteristics of objects realized with different materials and variegate techniques actually pushes for a constant effort in the development of new instrumentation used for the application of all these methodologies. A further aim of this Issue is the optimization of simultaneous uses of many different and complementary methods on the same case, widening the global observation capability and providing a more complete set of information. The techniques of interest will include ion beam analysis, X-ray fluorescence, multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, Raman spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. The combined use of conventional and well-established methods with interesting and valuable case studies will be welcomed.
