Acoustic Emission Monitoring
Picture a special device that listens to the sounds objects make when they crack.
This device is called acoustic emission monitoring, or AE for short. It's usually used to inspect
airplanes and bridges for potential issues, but now, scientists at Getty are using it to prevent
damage in cultural heritage objects.
AE can detect tiny cracks in materials like wood by capturing ultrasound waves and turning them
into electrical signals we can see. This real-time data allows us to monitor how objects change
over time, identify variations in temperature and humidity that may lead to damage, and even
uncover unexpected visitors like termites.

For Vincent Beltran, the term “let there be light” is key to the work he does as an environmental scientist at the Getty Conservation Institute. But he only uses so much of it. “Light is tricky because you need light to see an object, but at the same time, too much is going to cause damage to the object. So, you need to carefully manage it.” Beltran works with an instrument called a microfading...
