This document provides information about an upcoming "Technical Imaging for Art Documentation and Examination" training hosted by Antonino Cosentino from September 16-27, 2013 at the Ecuador National Museum in Quito. The training will cover multispectral imaging methods and equipment use for art examination over seven days, with two hours of theory and three hours of hands-on laboratory work each day. Topics will include imaging with visible light, ultraviolet, infrared, infrared reflectography, high-resolution imaging, reflectance transformation imaging, and 3D photo-modeling. Attendees will have access to ongoing training through Cosentino's blog and can practice the skills learned to stay updated on new developments in the field.

Training multispectral imaging quito ecuador
1. Thanks for requesting my Technical Imaging for Art Documentation and Examination training. One
year ago I started a blog Cultural Heritage Science Open Source. Its mission was to disseminate
low-cost instrumental solutions for art diagnostics for public and private professionals in the art
conservation field. This fully hands-on training will make you practice with the multispectral imaging
methods and equipment that I use for Documentation and Examination of art objects, such as de-
scribed in the Cultural Heritage Science Open Source blog.
