Abstract:
Lately, we have witnessed a spectacular increase of the number of scientific disciplines. It is now necessary to develop an interdisciplinary learning, at all levels, in order to give answers to some complex questions and solve the problems they generate, problems whose solutions cannot be found within one discipline. Hybrid disciplines combine two or more connected fields thus eliminating the blanks between them. This is the case for archaeometry, the domain in which the strict methods of exact sciences highly contribute to solving problems related to the preservation, restoration and study of the cultural heritage. Microscopy and spectroscopy are the most used analytical techniques to examine the art and archeological objects physically and chemically. In this paper we present a way to help students fathom the study of microscopy within informal extracurricular activities, by comparing the characteristics and performances of optical and electronic microscopes.
