Popis: Lasers can be found in many devices and in different environments ranging from hospital operating rooms to large concert venues. In the 1970s, research began to explore applying lasers to a new field: art. Over time lasers have been used to help conserve various pieces of cultural importance all over the world. This chapter will introduce the reader to the lesser-known applications of lasers in art conservation. The reader will be provided an overview of how lasers are used to examine and clean pieces of art, as well as important steps to take to ensure the safe operation of lasers in these environments.
