Article Synopsis
- Type I collagen is a crucial component of the extracellular matrix, providing strength and stability to various tissues like tendons, bones, and skin.
- The study presents a new method that uses Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to analyze collagen fibril morphology at the nanoscale, enhancing our understanding of collagen-related diseases.
- Findings from examining collagen in Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) revealed significant morphological differences, suggesting that this approach can aid in diagnosing connective tissue disorders.
The aim of the current work is twofold: to demonstrate the application of in situ non-invasive imaging by portable atomic force microscopy (AFM) on the surfaces of a violin and to integrate compositional and mechanical analysis at the nano scale level on model samples of varnished wood. These samples were prepared according to traditional recipes by an Italian lute-maker family well practised in the art. Samples of oil and spirit-based varnishes on maple wood, naturally and accelerated light aged, were studied.

The enamel organic content was measured with thermogravimetry.

Canvas-supported paintings consist of materials that are sensitive to moisture and especially susceptible to environmental fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity (RH). These environmental fluctuations occur in uncontrolled environments found in historic houses and palaces and can lead to hydrolytic degradation and mechanical damage to canvases.

Methodology: The root canals of extracted human roots were irrigated with control saline (n = 3) or 5% NaOCl (n = 3) and sectioned into transverse disks for FTIR analyses, 0.
