Description
The Library of Congress, Conservation Division (CD) requires a Digital Microscope analytical instrument. This scientific instrument will be used as an analytical and diagnostic tool to determine the microscopic nature of artifacts across the vast Library of Congress (LC) collections, specifically in the analysis of three-dimensional artifacts. This information will be used for a number of preservation activities including surface characterization in support of examinations and treatments, conservation treatment of collection items, and documentation of surface characteristics. The microscope needs to be accurate at high levels of magnification, and portable in that it can be transported to analyze objects in situ.
