XpeCAM® the Multispectral Camera for Art Inspection

Integrating Spectral Technology for Enhanced Art Conservation and Restoration

The XpeCAM® X02 is an affordable, portable, and user-friendly solution designed for non-destructive analysis based on the spectral properties of each material. It enables the extraction of detailed information from artworks, focusing on a deep understanding of underdrawings, characterisation of paint layers and pigment mapping, detection of overpaints, and examination of the coating layer structure.

This powerful tool operates within a spectral range of 350 to 1200 nm (UV – VIS – IR), offers both automatic and manual modes, features exchangeable lenses, and is lightweight and portable. It is essential for art conservators seeking to achieve less invasive and more optimised results in the conservation and restoration of works of art.

The XpeCAM® camera is an advanced multispectral acquisition system designed for art analysis and conservation. It utilises non-invasive and non-destructive technology to provide detailed insights into artworks, making it an essential tool for art conservators and researchers.

Key Features:

  • Multispectral Imaging: The XpeCAM® camera covers a wide spectral range from 350 to 1200 nm (UV – VIS – IR), allowing for comprehensive analysis of artworks
  • Automatic and Manual Modes: Users can choose between automatic and manual operation modes, providing flexibility in capturing images under various conditions
  • Exchangeable Lenses: The camera supports exchangeable lenses, enabling the acquisition of images of different area sizes, from detailed close-ups to larger sections
  • Lightweight and Portable: Designed for ease of use in various settings, the XpeCAM® camera is lightweight and portable, making it convenient for on-site analysis
  • LAMPA Illumination System: The camera is complemented by the LAMPA illumination system, which provides a spectral emission range covering UV, VIS, and IR. This system ensures consistent lighting for accurate imaging
  • Cloud-Based Analysis: The XpeCAM® solution includes access to a cloud-based platform for processing and analysing data. This platform leverages artificial intelligence to automatically classify pigments, map materials, and generate comprehensive reports.

Applications:

  • Art Conservation: The XpeCAM® camera is ideal for analysing paintings, graphics, and murals. It helps in detecting underdrawings, characterising paint layers, identifying overpaintings, and examining coating layer structures.
  • Research and Documentation: The system provides valuable data for research and documentation, aiding in the preservation and understanding of cultural heritage.

The XpeCAM® camera combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design, making it a powerful tool for anyone involved in the field of art conservation and analysis.
