Desarrollo de un equipo de LIBS para el estudio de obras patrimoniales

Abstract

Several characterization techniques are used to study the Cultural Heritage, from the physical-chemical point of view, microscopic and macroscopic characteristics are determinated. The sample preparation and the inability of in situ analysis are disadvantages that limit in many cases the Cultural Heritage study. Spectroscopy Laser Induced Plasma (LIBS) is presented as one of the most dynamic and promising techniques in the field of analytical spectroscopy, capable of performing in situ analysis of qualitative elemental chemical composition of matter. Thus, we present the use and potential of LIBS in the study of cultural heritage through metal and stone objects.
