macmicus Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hello from Moscow!I am a photographer with a long history of museum work. I'm also interested in scientific photography, especially macro photography. In recent years, I have also been restoring historical photographs including the earliest ones such as daguerreotypes and talbotypes. Now we are dealing with the problem of visualizations of photographic images on damaged photos. Interesting results were obtained when using transmitted IR for photographic negatives with different spots and now we want to continue these experiments in the UV spectrum.I hope that my experience in such work and the knowledge of the members of this forum will be mutually useful. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi! We have plenty of Russian members already so you should find people here who know "local conditions." I've done quite a bit of work with using SWIR in the 1500nm range to look through patinas on old books, like this:https://www.ultravioletphotography.com/content/index.php/topic/3290-multispectral-examination-of-a-188-year-old-book-cover-uv-swir/ Link to comment

Alaun Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Welcome here macmicus. From your pictures, I assume you are building a scanner, which uses UV-light ( as photo scanners often include IR-light, to remove dust etc.)? Link to comment
macmicus Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Alaun,the scanner has been redesigned to work with transmitted infrared light. We have provided the ability to disable the built-in illuminator. Link to comment
