>>Going back to the tinfol issue for a moment... Mr. Giovannoni explained that the image scan software was not designed to work with the tinfol because the software needs the light to be absorbed and not reflected. The tinfol would overload the sensors... and what is needed to bring the tinfols back to life would be un-invasive 3D image scanning... which the technology is beginning to come together and become available.>>

Perhaps the tinfoil could be coated or plated with a microscopically thin, dark material and then it could be read more easily. I can see where they would never actually want to do this to one-of-a-kind recordings like these of course, so yup guess we'll have to wait for the technology to work with what is there.
