“…A total of 16 carved ivories of the Département des Antiquités orientales, Musée du Louvre (Paris, France), have been analysed by means of optical microscopy, UV photography, X-ray radiography and micro-PIXE imaging (Fontan and Reiche 2011;Albéric et al 2015). Additionally, 13 objects kept in the Badische Landesmuseum (Karlsruhe, Germany) could be studied by Full Field Synchrotron micro X-Ray Fluorescence (FF-SR-µXRF) with a new 3D imaging X-ray detector, the Colour X-ray Camera (CXC) at the synchrotron facility ANKA (Karlsruhe, Germany).…”
