SEM Study on Old-styled Thai Gold Mosaic Glass Samples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold Mosaic glass has been used to decorate items and places since ancient time. The glass structure is divided into three layers: cover glass, gold layer and glass substrate. In this study, the composition of old-styled Thai gold mosaic glass samples was analyzed using SEM/EDX and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the glass composition was sodiumsilicate based glass. Raman spectroscopy also showed the confirmation of the different chemical compositions of the oldstyled Thai gold mosaic glass layers.

Roman coloured and opaque glass: a chemical and spectroscopic study
This work reports the results of an archaeometrical investigation of opaque Roman glass and is mainly focussed on the role of configuration and oxidation state of copper on the colour and opacity of red and green opaque finds (mosaic tesserae, game counters, and glass artefacts) from Sicily and Pompeii excavations. The glass fragments were characterised by EMPA, SEM-EDS, TEM, and XRPD analyses ...
متن کاملLighting and Byzantine Glass Tesserae
A key component of many Byzantine churches was the mosaics on the curved walls and ceilings, which included gold and silver glass tesserae. As the viewer or the light moved within the church, these tesserae sparkled. In this paper we describe how we captured a Polynomial Texture Map of the apse mosaic at the Angeloktisti Church at Kiti, Cyprus and used it to investigate how the position of the ...
متن کاملScanning Electron Microscopy of Pine Seedling Wood Tissue Sections Inoculated with the Pinewood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Previously Prepared for Light Microscopy.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to paraffin-embedded wood sections to study the histopathology of pine seedlings inoculated with the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. The sections, which had been previously prepared and observed by light microscopy (LM) on glass slides, were originally obtained from experiments in which pine seedlings had been inoculated with P...
متن کاملTowards Local Probe Vibrational Spectroscopy of Single Virus Particles
Recent success has been achieved in the synthesis of virus particles which encapsulate single gold nanoparticles. However, little information is known about how much resemblance there is with a true capsid. Through the integration of atomic force microscopy, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and near-field scanning optical microscopy (SERS/AFM/NSOM) it will be possible to simultaneously char...
متن کاملAsymmetrical disassortative pollination in a distylous primrose: the complementary roles of bumblebee nectar robbers and syrphid flies
Heterostyly is a floral polymorphism characterized by reciprocal herkogamy maintained through high levels of mating between morphs, serviced by appropriate pollinators. We studied how differential efficiency and abundance of distinct pollinators affect plant female reproduction in self- and intra-morph incompatible distylous Primula secundiflora. Bumblebees and syrphid flies were found to be th...
