    RafaelloDifferent photographic techniques for the physical study of a work

    Non-destructive techniques are employed based on exposing the work of art to electromagnetic radiations of different wave-lengths (close-up infra-red, visible, ultraviolet, x-rays).

    Through these techniques an image is obtained whose subsequent treatment will produce comprehensive information on the work.
