Introduction
Alteration of structural and mechanical properties of artworks is an
important factor of deterioration causing their slow but steady disintegration.
Through the use of lasers and the principles of holography
and holographic interferometry a novel tool to visualize the invisible
disintegration has been introduced to the conservation community.
