Abstract
MOLAB is a unique collection of integrated mobile instrumentation established in Italy in 2001 and open from 2004 to transnational access within the European projects Eu-ARTECH (FP6) and CHARISMA (FP7). Its application demonstrated in the last decade that satisfactory analytical results can be obtained through in situ studies of a variety of heritage objects without sampling or moving them to a laboratory, achieving significant overviews on nature and behavior of the inorganic and organic materials of the examined object. The MOLAB in situ non-invasive approach produced a significant change in diagnostic practices, an increase of scientific inputs in heritage studies and conservation, and a positive modification in the relationships between curators, conservators, and scientists, permitting a common language to be established and partnership strengthened. The recent introduction of innovative mobile 2D and 3D imaging systems, setup within the CHARISMA joint research project, significantly extended the MOLAB tools available in the current project IPERION CH (Horizon 2020), widening number and interest of potential users from Europe and associated countries.
