The Spectroscopist is back - and this month we’ve got a couple of quick reads to pique your interest! First up, our Image of the Month explores how multispectral imaging is aiding the conservation of artworks in tropical climates, and we look at a new optical technique that is helping researchers analyze the nanoscale nature of nacre (mother of pearl). You can also check out our piece on amber paleopharmaceuticals, and discover how lipid residue analysis is revealing our ancient connections with honeybee exploitation.
Enjoy! Lauren Robertson, Deputy Editor
