Digital Imaging: Seeing the Invisible

Perhaps thee most dramatic advance comes from digital maing technologies. High- resolution scanners, multispectral cameras, andX- ray fluorescence (XRF) imaginag allow stypendia to see details invisible te te naked eye. These methods reveal erasures, palippsests, annotations, and even the chemical composition of inks andd pigments.
