St. Vitus´ Cathedral - detailed survey of the interior and collecting of samples

The probe no.2 was placed on a telescopic arm and provided detailed shots of the interior of the eastern chamber, mainly however it was possible to look inside the western chamber, to survey and map it. After the visual inspection and mapping we attached a special sample collecting device.
We succeeded in gathering samples from the wipe of the tomb floor, of the dust on the ruined coffins, samples of wood from the coffins and of textiles.

Collecting of the samples

Collecting of samples navigated by the candid camera

The high quality optical instruments, which we used, enabled us to record really miniature details. For example it was possible to read a Latin stone inscription in the eastern wall of the eastern chamber. The acquired information will be subject of further studies.
