Abstract

The ancient paper document we chose as a case study for our research is "One Hundred Poets of the Tang Dynasty", which is housed in the Ryukoku University Library. The purpose of this research is to introduce a method to analyze the surface roughness and microstructure at a high resolution. In addition, we attempt to quantitatively measure the surface unevenness of the types and curve structure. We used a tridimensional digital microscopy as a non-contact and a non-destructive method to study ancient cultural paper. The information contained in the paper may be lost in the process of applying strong pressure to clean and lining or press. However, this microscopic measurement method can non-destructively analyze a large amount of data in old printed books. Moreover, it enables observing them directly with reflected light. Therefore, this method may be useful for collecting printed information remaining on the surface of the paper.

류코쿠 대학 소장 "당백가시"를 중심으로 3D 디지털 현미경으로 인쇄된 종이 표면에 남아있는 금속활자의 미세표면을 관찰하여 굴곡구조와 표면 거칠기를 정량화하는 측정 방법을 소개하고자 한다. 인쇄된 종이 표면을 기준으로 활자 표면의 굴곡 현상을 선으로 측정하고 활자의 미세표면은 면으로 측정하여 수치화하여 인쇄된 종이 표면의 특성을 제시하였다. 3D 디지털 현미경 측정 방법은 비접촉, 비파괴 방법으로 많은 자료 분석과 반사광에 의한 직접 관찰이 가능하다. 그리고 클리닝이나 배접 그리고 주름을 펴기 위하여 강한 힘으로 압력을 주는 과정에서 고문서에 함유된 정보가 손실될 수 있으므로 사전 조사 방법으로 종이 표면에 남아있는 인쇄 정보를 수집하는데 유용한 방법이라고 할 수 있다.
