Since the advent of industrial computed tomography (CT), this new analysis method has been used also for the investigation of objects of cultural heritage and art. CT provides the possibility to determine the inner and outer surfaces and to investigate the material structure without causing damage to the valuable objects.
In this talk I will present examples of measurements performed at BAM, which demonstrate what CT can do for objects of diverse materials and for different objectives.
Etymologically, nature and culture are considered to be extreme opposites and the doctrines behind them-the natural sciences and the humanities-seldom overlap. However, at all times nature has influenced culture in many different ways. Cultural entomology describes these influences from the entomological side of view. Insects had and still have an enormous impact on all parts of the human intellectual life including language, literature, music, arts, philosophy, religion, and so on. Additionally, insects have changed the course of history more than once.
The following overview presents well-known and less well-known examples of how insects influenced human work. Certainly, some insects like bees, flies and butterflies are more dominant than others in this respect, according to their economic importance, their overall synanthropic presence or simply their beauty.
