3D micro-topography scanning is a technique used to measure and analyze the microscopically small surface features of an object in three dimensions. Its application in cultural heritage is transformative for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of historical artifacts and sites.
By capturing fine surface details, this technology supports detailed record creation (including digital archiving, virtual reconstruction, and micro-site mapping), damage assessment, material analysis (for authentication purposes), and surface texture studies (e.g., fabrics and wood).
- The item needs to be balanced under the microscope; otherwise, a micro-area must be sampled
- complete darkness is mandatory (blocking light even from the microscope controlling PC monitor)
- glass or highly reflective areas can be problematic
