Claudia Conti, a conservations scientist from Italy’s National Research Council Institute for the Conservation and Valorization of Cultural Heritage (ICVBC) holds a small piece of  ‘art’ ahead of microscale spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (micro-SORS). “Due to micrometer-scale laser illumination and Raman collection areas, and spatial offset dimensions, micro-SORS can readily resolve thin turbid layers that are beyond the reach of both traditional SORS and conventional Raman microscopy,” says Pavel Matousek, a Senior Fellow at the UK’s Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

About the Author(s)

Rich Whitworth

Rich Whitworth completed his studies in medical biochemistry at the University of Leicester, UK, in 1998. To cut a long story short, he escaped to Tokyo to spend five years working for the largest English language publisher in Japan. "Carving out a career in the megalopolis that is Tokyo changed my outlook forever. When seeing life through such a kaleidoscopic lens, it's hard not to get truly caught up in the moment." On returning to the UK, after a few false starts with grey, corporate publishers, Rich was snapped up by Texere Publishing, where he spearheaded the editorial development of The Analytical Scientist. "I feel honored to be part of the close-knit team that forged The Analytical Scientist – we've created a very fresh and forward-thinking publication." Rich is now also Content Director of Texere Publishing, the company behind The Analytical Scientist.
