From Adam Savage’s Tested.
Not every artifact has a secret, but for those that do, there’s multispectral imaging to uncover hidden details without damaging the object. At the @NationalParkService’s Museum Conservation Lab, conservation technician Ray Mansfield shows Adam Savage how he and his team use special lights and filters to take UV and IR images of objects with a regular digital camera, detecting and identifying coatings, inscriptions and images that are invisible in regular light.
