Preserving art is important for future generations. Microscopy solutions help analyze and document the materials and structures of paintings and artifacts. This technology benefits art historians, archaeologists, and conservation experts in museums and workshops. Microscopy is also useful in restoring pottery and ceramic artifacts by identifying potential issues and developing solutions. Microscopy has been used successfully in restoring iconic artworks like the Mona Lisa and Starry Night. Opti Tech’s new Opto Advanced Digital Imaging Modules are exciting tools for restorers to use in art conservation. They provide more advanced solutions for successful restorations and a greater appreciation of our cultural heritage.
