A portable Raman spectrometer is being developed by IFN during the project and will be applied for the molecular analysis of paint and paintings. The instrument is characterized by an optical system with a long depth of field (approximately 20 cm) coupled with two galvonometic mirrors. The instrument will complement the portable Raman instrumentation for point-based analysis used by ISTM.
