Our team at the University of Manchester had the great opportunity to collaborate with the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory . The aim was to perform rapid-scan X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging of several folios from the Syriac Galen Palimpsest which were so far unreadable. The initiative has received press coverage in the US like here in Newsweek. Read more about the X-ray imaging of the palimpsest on the SLAC website.
