DI.AR combines scientific methodology, diagnostic imaging, and a deep understanding of artistic materials.
Each project is developed through a tailored protocol, allowing scientific data to become clear, reliable information for the study, conservation, and interpretation of cultural heritage.
-
The laboratory offers diagnostic imaging, scientific investigation of materials, in-situ analysis, and technical documentation for conservation projects.
These services support the study of artworks, archaeological objects, historic surfaces, and cultural heritage materials.
