Empowering Technology Through Preservation Digitization represents a revolutionary step in preserving and sharing historical artifacts and documents. Utilizing advanced microscopy, institutions can create high-resolution reproductions that are both detailed and accessible globally. This process not only safeguards the physical items from deterioration but also democratizes access to treasures that might otherwise be confined to the physical constraints of museum walls. ZEISS microscopes are instrumental in this process, offering unparalleled precision and versatility. They allow for detailed examination and capture of the minutest features, essential for accurate digital representations

With the X-ray microscope, we can look at the entire structure at multiple scales and still with a very high resolution.
