DIRECT ANALYSIS IN REAL TIME MASS SPECTROMETRY FOR THE NONDESTRUCTIVE INVESTIGATION OF CONSERVATION TREATMENTS OF CULTURAL HERITAGE

Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry for the Nondestructive Investigation of Conservation Treatments of Cultural Heritage

Today the long-term conservation of cultural heritage is a big challenge: often the artworks were subjected to unknown interventions, which eventually were found to be harmful.The noninvasive investigation of the conservation treatments to which they were subjected to is a crucial step in order to undertake the best conservation strategies.We descr
