CT scans of objects. Some have iron wires that cause light distortions
Sanna Lipkin: the project has tested different methods to capture details in good resolution on 3 dimension textile objects, with shiny surfaces. There are benefits and downsides with every tech, and images are always a sort of interpretation, which must be kept in mind.
