Tomography results for a 1679 Italian (Tuscany) document. Centre: three reconstructed images of virtual `pages' with different characters, corresponding to the visible photographs on the left-hand side. Right: three-dimensional reconstructions showing side views of the pages with ink visible over them. The tomography was performed for a stack of eight manuscript fragments simulating a small volume. The bright area in the two right-hand-side images is a small magnet keeping the fragment stack in place. |
