Synchrotron-Radiation MicroCT Of Bowed Stringed Intrumens
Feasibility studies have been carried out at the SYRMEP beamline of the Elettra synchrotron laboratory in Trieste with the aim of demonstrating the advantages and evaluating the effectiveness of synchrotron radiation X-ray microtomography as a suitable technique for non-destructive analysis of bowed stringed instruments.

Feasibility studies have been carried out at the SYRMEP beamline of the Elettra synchrotron laboratory in Trieste with the aim of demonstrating the advantages and evaluating the effectiveness of synchrotron radiation X-ray microtomography as a suitable technique for non-destructive analysis of bowed stringed instruments. The particular geometry of the X-ray beam and the use of a novel detector allow structural evaluation of the main details of the instruments with unprecedented richness of details. This, in turn, will allow precise dendrochrono-logical investigation of historical violins, as well as the characterization of their structure, defects, wood thickness and density. |
