Abstract: We report about a-recent implementation of the INOA scanning device for infrared reflectography. The realization of a new optical head allows the simultaneous acquisition of the reflectogram and the colour image of the painting, perfectly superimposing. We show two example of application of this new device in the analysis of two ancient paintings: the Madonna con Bambino e Santi by Madeo di Giovanni and the La Tempesta by Giorgione.
