It was placed in a specially done business and delivered to Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire.
Inside this huge machine, called synchrotron, the electrons are accelerated almost to the speed of light to create a powerful X -ray that can carry out inspection without damaging it.
“It can see things on a few thousands of millimeters,” said Adrian Mankus, director of physical sciences Diamond.
The scan is used to create a 3D registration, then layers inside the scroll – it contains about 10 m papyrus – it is necessary to determine.
“We need to find out which layer is different from the next layer so that we can expand it digitally,” D -Mancus said.
After this artificial intelligence is used to detect ink. It is easier to say than to do – both papyrus and ink are made of carbon, and they are almost indistinguishable from each other.
Thus, II hunt for the smallest signals that can be ink there, then this ink is drawn digitally, bringing letters into the world.
