Exploring Hidden Wonders: My Journey as an X-ray Postdoc Researcher |
2024-12-28 |
John True |
Welcome to my corner on the web! I’m John True Jr., an X-ray postdoc researcher based at the Florida Museum. My work is supported by the NSF NOCTURN program, where we are pushing the boundaries of advanced museum imaging technology and security.
-
X-ray Imaging Research: I specialize in using high-powered X-ray systems to uncover the hidden layers of museum objects, artifacts, and specimens. This helps us analyze their composition, detect damage or fakes, and preserve them for future generations.
-
Advanced Technology: As part of the NSF NOCTURN team, I collaborate with engineers and scientists to develop cutting-edge imaging systems tailored to the unique needs of museums. We are pioneering ways to securely scan artifacts without causing any harm.
-
Security & Preservation: We leverage emerging technologies to increase security around precious collections, ensuring that valuable specimens stay safe—both physically and digitally.
Museums are guardians of our cultural and natural heritage. By advancing imaging technology, we can:
- Reveal the Unseen: Expose previously unknown details or hidden layers within artifacts.
- Improve Preservation: Detect signs of deterioration early on, preventing irreversible damage.
- Enhance Security: Keep track of valuable items and protect them against threats.
I’m always excited to chat about X-ray imaging, digital security, or any new research collaborations. You can find me on LinkedIn or reach me at [email protected].
Thanks for visiting, and stay tuned for more updates on my research adventures!
