The Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) technique has been applied in the field of cultural heritage as a diagnostic tool for the advantages it offers of minimal invasiveness, in situ applicability, remote measurement capability and high sensitivity. Scanning hyperspectral systems based on LIF have been designed and built at the Diagnostics and Metrology laboratory of ENEA-Frascati in order to obtain analytical information on CH surfaces by 2D images collection
