The ELIO portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer enables non-destructive elemental analysis of cultural heritage objects. This portable instrument allows for the rapid analysis of multiple points in situ without sampling. It is specifically suited for studying inorganic pigments in easel paintings and other polychrome surfaces, as well as characterizing glass, ceramics, and various inorganic materials.
The ELIO portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer provides non-destructive elemental analysis of cultural heritage objects, allowing for rapid in situ testing across multiple points without sampling. This versatile instrument identifies inorganic pigments in easel paintings and polychrome surfaces, while also characterizing materials like glass and ceramics. For specialized needs, the system can be used with helium gas to detect lighter elements that are otherwise difficult to see. [EXPERTISE] Eric Laval (French) : easel paintings, polychromy, inorganic pigments. Kilian Laclavetine (French, Spanish and English) : easel paintings, graphic arts, mural paintings, inorganic pigments. Astrid Tazzioli (French and English) : glass, stained-glass windows, ceramics.
