The custom-made UAVs contain cameras and sensors that allow for surveys across heritage sites and their surrounding environments. EduceaLab UVAs can be equipped with a multispectral camera, LIDAR system, and radar instruments.

The Artec SpaceSpider is the tried and true 3D scanner for high quality digitization in a museum or collections setting. This scanner boasts a 3D point accuracy of up to 0.05mm, making it ideal for scanning even small objects needed for digitization. Both the Artec SpaceSpider and Artec Leo utilize the newest release of ArtecStudio 17 for post-processing.

More details on the Artec SpaceSpider can be found on the Artec website.

The Artec Leo is the only professional 3D scanner on the market with wireless scanning capabilities. The built-in display and graphics card enables the user to complete scans on the scanner without the immediate need for an external computer, making this scanner ideal for 3D scanning on-the-go and directly in the field. The Artec Leo scans at a resolution of 0.1mm, making this scanner perfectly suited for creating high quality 3D models of large artifacts in situ or in museum collections, or even for digitizing complete field units without the need to worry about overloading computer workstations in post-processing. Both the Artec SpaceSpider and Artec Leo utilize the newest release of ArtecStudio 17 for post-processing.

The Bruker TRACER 5 is a portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer designed for non-destructive elemental analysis in laboratory, field, and museum settings. The system can measure up to 48 elements and features a silicon drift detector (SDD) with energy resolution of less than 140 eV, allowing for precise chemical characterization of a wide range of materials. The TRACER 5 supports selectable 3 mm or 8 mm measurement spots and can operate in air, vacuum, or helium atmospheres, making it adaptable for different sample types and analytical needs. Its handheld design makes it especially useful for artifact analysis, conservation research, archaeological materials, geological samples, and other studies requiring elemental analysis outside of the lab.

Further details and specifications can be found on the Bruker website.

The SKYSCAN 1273 is a high energy micro-CT scanner for large and dense objects. It includes a 130 kV microfocus X-ray source, a large format (6Mp) active pixel flat panel detector, and a precision object manipulator for large (up to 300 mm in diameter, 500 mm in length) and heavy (up to 20 kg) objects with an integrated micro-positioning stage. The scanning volume up to 250 mm in diameter and 250 mm long allows investigating wide range of objects.   

The full range of Bruker’s 3D.SUITE software is supplied, including fast volumetric reconstruction, software for 2D/ 3D quantitative analysis and for surface rendering visualization, software for realistic visualization and easy creation of movies by volume rendering with possibility for virtual flight around and inside the reconstructed object's microstructure.  The SKYSCAN 1273 is supplied with GPU-accelerated reconstruction for round and helical scanning geometries by patented (licensed) exact reconstruction algorithm. 

Reconstruction results can be sent to iPad, iPhone or Android devices. Special software for mobile platforms performs volume rendering and virtual cut of objects with touch screen gesture controls. 

More details on the Bruker Skyscan 1273 can be found on the MicroPhotonics web site.

Our multispectral imaging system is a compact, field-deployable imaging system for non-invasive spectral documentation of cultural and natural heritage materials. The system uses 16 spectral bands spanning the UV–NIR range with a specially-modified camera. It supports detailed examination of surface features, material differences, markings, and other spectral responses that may not be visible under standard illumination. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for flexible onsite use, either as a portable instrument or as part of MOBILE2 van deployments for collections, artifacts, and field investigations that cannot be transported to EduceLab for analysis.
