Over the last decade, the concept of stone decay being caused solely by one or two processes has been revised in favour of a more holistic notion that many operate together, are synergistic and possibly cyclical or seasonal. Certain of these processe

The application of an hand-held fluorometer used to monitor algal growth on stone surfaces is reported. The system is based on a modulated ultra-bright blue LED, used to induce chlorophyll-a fluorescence, as well as that of accessory pigments. With t

Algal growth on stones, together with the deposition of other soiling layers, cause major conservation problems for buildings and monuments, as it not only covers the surface with a green layer, but also accelerates stone decay. In recent years laser

Initial results from studies of the effect of high power 1064 nm light from a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser on Scottish granites, commonly used in buildings and monuments, are described. Pink granites, were shown to undergo bleaching at energy densities cl

A Scanning Fluorescence Microscope system for quantifying and mapping biological growth on stone is described. The system uses 488 nm light from an Argon-ion laser to excite the 685 nm fluorescence from the Chlorophyll-a in the algae and uses this as
