The particle size used experimentally is 450 nm and 820 nm (PS, n=1.59) in diameter. The used laser fluence ranges from the bellow-ablation-threshold fluence to the above-threshold fluence of Al films. The ablation threshold of Al films is 400 mJ/cm2 approximately.

As such the fragmented applicability obstructs their transfer to the new demanding field of application. Therefore the project objective is to integrate complementary advantages of techniques based on the same fundamental physical principles in one system-device capable to provide the desirable flexibility of function and standardised operation providing a user-friendly on-field transportable system as a universal structural diagnostic tool for cultural heritage applications.
