    Nasjonalbiblioteket trenger et fiberoptisk reflektansspektrometer (FORS) for ikke-invasiv undersøkelse og karakterisering av historiske materialer, som papir, pergament, blekk, pigmenter, innbindinger, tekstiler og fotografiske materialer. Instrumentet skal brukes både i laboratorium og feltarbeid, og skal dekke synlige, nær- og dyp-infrarøde spektralområder. Leveransen har en varighet på 8 måneder og skal leveres i Nordland og Oslo.

    About the bid

      As part of its long-term commitment to conservation, research, and public access, the National Library of Norway continuously seeks to enhance its technical capabilities through the adoption of advanced analytical tools. To support the non-invasive examination and characterization of historical materials, the Library intends to acquire a high-resolution spectroscopic system suitable for both laboratory use and field work. Such an instrument will enable the analysis of a wide range of materials - including paper, parchment, inks, pigments, bindings, textiles, photographic materials and other organic and inorganic substances - across the visible, near-and- deep infrared spectral regions.Main features of the procedureAs part of its long-term commitment to conservation, research, and public access, the National Library of Norway continuously seeks to enhance its technical capabilities through the adoption of advanced analytical tools. To support the non-invasive examination and characterization of historical materials, the Library intends to acquire a high-resolution spectroscopic system suitable for both laboratory use and field work. Such an instrument will enable the analysis of a wide range of materials - including paper, parchment, inks, pigments, bindings, textiles, photographic materials and other organic and inorganic substances - across the visible, near - and - deep infrared spectral regions. These capabilities are essential for conducting material identification and composition analysis without physical sampling, supporting conservation assessments and degradation monitoring of the collections, as well as enabling provenance studies and authentication research through spectral comparison and contributing to interdisciplinary research. By investing in non-destructive analytical technologies, the National Library strengthens its role as a national and international leader in cultural heritage preservation and scientific research on archival materials.
