Severely damaged historical documents are extremely fragile. In many cases, their secrets remain concealed beneath cover. Recently, non-invasive digitization approaches based on 3-D scanning have demonstrated the ability to recover single pages or letters without need open manuscripts. This can even be achieved using conventional micro-CTs for synchrotron hardware. However, not all manuscripts may suited such techniques due material and X-ray properties. order recommend which inks best a...
