High spatial dynamics-photoluminescence imaging reveals the metallurgy of the earliest lost-wax cast object

Photoluminescence is a powerful probe of chemical composition and structure, but it is challenging to image heterogeneous materials over large scale. Thoury et al. develop a full-field imaging approach to map two cuprous oxide phases in the earliest known lost-wax cast artefact manufactured 6,000 ye...
