Photoluminescence micro-imaging. Researchers analysing a sample from an old painting using synchrotron deep ultraviolet (DUV) photoluminescence (PL) micro-imaging. Photoluminescence is light emission from any form of matter after the absorption of photons, and can be used to characterise materials from historical artefacts. Photographed at the IPANEMA laboratory, University of Versailles, France.
