Art & Heritage Restoration
Analyze pigments, craquelure, and fibers to support conservation and restoration workflows.
Smart G-Scope enables the observation of craquelure, paint texture, canvas fibers, and small defects without bulky equipment.
It is useful to document condition before and after interventions, and to create conservation reports with clear visual evidence.
Lighting control and stand stability help produce consistent images for comparison and monitoring.
Key benefits
- Before/after documentation of interventions
- Non-destructive micro-detail analysis
- Supports conservation reporting
- Portable tool for studio or museum work

Practical examples
Craquelure analysis
Observe craquelure patterns, micro-cracks, and stress areas to plan interventions.
Support and fiber study
Examine canvas weave or support fibers to assess damage or previous restoration.
Report documentation
Capture detailed images to justify processes and record condition changes over time.
Limitations & best practices
- It does not replace advanced analytical techniques when exact pigment chemistry identification is required.
- Varnished glossy surfaces may require lighting adjustments to minimize glare.
