Miêu tả:The employment of non-invasive techniques for the pathological study of buildings is an important advance for the conservation of the built heritage. The collaborative effort encompassing multiple scientific disciplines has enhanced the scope of the research, complementing, and expanding upon the contributions traditionally made by architects and engineers. This article aims to demonstrate how optical microscopy, a technique traditionally linked to biological sciences, is a powerful tool for pathological studies, allowing more accurate diagnoses of the state of conservation of buildings. To illustrate this point, three case studies are presented, each highlighting the application of optical microscopy in identifying fungi responsible for biodeterioration in heritage buildings across three cities with distinct climates in Costa Rica. The principal result of this study is the identification of 42 genera of fungi, predominantly ascomycetes, five of which were repeatedly observed in the studied buildings.
