一、前言博物馆和其它文物单位所收藏的竹木、丝绸、纸张、棉毛、皮革等有机质地的文物和动植物标本,因遭受虫菌的危害常常造成严重的损失。为了杀灭危害文物的虫、菌,多采用化学和其它的一些物理办法。微波技术作为一门现代技术在国外已较广泛地应用于工业、农业和医学上的杀虫、消毒灭菌和脱水,但它在文物保护上的应用还不久。法国历史文物研究所于1991年应用微波能作为制服文物害虫的致命武器,首次应用于博物馆的文物保护。我们从1987年就进行微波能杀 Foreword Museums and other cultural relics collection units of bamboo, silk, paper, cotton wool, leather and other organic matter of the cultural relics and flora and fauna specimens, suffered from insect bacteria often cause serious damage. In order to kill the insects and bacteria that endanger the cultural relics, we use more chemical and other physical methods. As a modern technology, microwave technology has been widely used in industrial, agricultural and medical insecticidal, sterilization and dehydration in foreign countries, but its application in cultural relic protection is not long. French Institute of Historical Relics in 1991, the use of microwave energy as a lethal weapon uniforms heritage pests, for the first time applied to the museum’s cultural relics protection. We have been able to kill microwaves since 1987
