ARCHAEOLOGY
3D electron diffraction tomography and ASTAR phase/orientation mapping can reveal precise structural information and phase/orientation distribution of various pigments and different crystalline phases present in cultural heritage materials from various historical periods being an alternative to X-Ray Synchrotron techniques.
