Marilyn Wurzberger, head of Special Collections at the ASU Library, a
magnified look at ASU's bound leaf of Leviticus14 from the Gutenberg
Bible. Kazilek was able to build a special frame to protect the 500-year-old
printed page while it was being scanned. The page is scanned layer by layer
and creates a sharp 3-D image. Kazilek and English Professor Gene Valentine
have used the scanning laser confocal microscope to RIGHT: Kazilek displays his scan of the Gutenberg leaf. By scanning the page, Kazilek can study how the fibers are interlaced within the paper. Kazilek says the scanned image also has aesthetic interest as a work of art. Volume 21, Number 39 | ASU INSIGHT |
