On December 2, two lectures on multispectral imaging systems (UV, VIS, IR) will take place in the videoconference room of the building 5. A lecture on the topic “Theory and application in study of Cultural Heritage objects (case studies of paintings by Giotto, Andrea Mantegna, and Cimabue)” will be held at 9:50. Lecture on the topic "Infrared spectroscopy: physical principles of micro NIR spectroscopic technique" will take place at 11:40.

On December 4, Rocco Mazzeo will give two lectures on infrared Fourier spectroscopy at the Department of Photonics in room 5677. At 9:50, a lecture will be held on the topic “Mid FTIR macro mapping; µFTIR: type of samples." At 11:40, a lecture will take place on the topic “µFTIR: samples preparation and enhanced spectroscopic detection.”
