Research focus Title: Venus Anadyomene
Research focus Category: Object/artwork
Research focus Description: Marble statue of Venus Anadyomene (Venus drying her hair after a bath). Venus (or Aphrodite) in the Roman world was often identified with Isis. Originally found with well-preserved painting and gilding. Found against the west wall of the portico in the south-west corner. Now in Naples Archaeological Museum
Research focus Reference: MANN inv. 6298

Research Activity Type: Object Examination/Digital image-video acquisition
Technique: Digital microsopy (2D)
Technique Category: Point analysis
Method Description: Portable microscope to acquire high magnification images. Observation at high magnification allows us to document the presence of residual polychromy, to examine the morphology and to extrapolate information about the stratigraphic sequence and the presence of complex mixtures or repainting
Tool / Equipment (or Software) Description: AM7013MZT (R4) (20–200x) by Dino-Lite USB microscope portable microscope was used to acquire images at high magnification
Tool / Equipment (or Software) reference: https://www.dino-lite.com/products_detail.php?index_m1_id=9&index_m2_id=36&index_id=48
ROI or target area or spot size: 6x8 mm (50X), 1.8x1.4 mm (220X)
Examination Methodology: acquisition of an image selecting the desired magnification (50X, 220X)
Equipment setup - Experimental: Acquisition on contact with the surface
Output interpretation: extrapolation of information by image observation

Object Examination Scale: Micro
Examination Class or Type: Single
Specific Scope linked to the Project: examination of residual polychromy on a marble statue
Measurable Entity / Property: morphology of the surface
Material Category: pigments, dyes, marble, alteration products
