Good morning all,
apologies for cross-posting. The education staff at our institution is
curious about docents using flashlights or laser pointers to identify
objects about which they are talking. Do any of you have experience with
this? Is it done in your museum? How has it worked for the docents and
visitors? Is the momentary exposure to a laser of concern to collections? I
don't think that a weak flashlight occasionally shone over an object will
cause substantial UV damage, but I know less about the qualities of
laser-pointer lasers.
Thanks very much for your help!
