    Using Optical Coherence Tomography to Study Wood and Wood Finishes on an 18th century Italian violin Feature Of The Week 12/13/09: When available, non-contact, non-destructive and in situ techniques are very much favoured to study the cultural heritage artefacts that are precious witnesses of the past, by limiting the number of micro-samples. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is then especially attractive. OCT potentially allows a better representativity than techniques which require a sample, by increasing the number of instruments studied and the number of measurements on each ...
