Fig. 11From: Navigating conservation strategies: linking material research on alum-treated wood from the Oseberg collection to conservation decisionsBoth images were taken at the same X-ray exposure. a Fresh birch; b an Oseberg sample where alum had been removed and the wood freeze dried. The greater attenuation in the fresh birch (the image is brighter) indicates a greater wood density, and hence better state of preservation. The bar shows 50 μm.
