Four Techniques To E

Various techniques are employed to examine the intricate details of paintings, revealing hidden layers and compositions. Ultraviolet (UV) spectrum analysis is used to study the surface layers and detect any oxidation in polyene materials, where changes in absorption can indicate aging.

Four Techniques To E

Four Techniques To Examine A Painting

Fluorescene by short-wave and long-wave UV excitation from mercury lamp

Provides information from top 50 microns of painting's surface
By spectrometer, full emission collected from any area of painting

X-ray Fluorescene (XRF)

Can be detected for most metals and elements of atomic number 14 and larger
Atoms emmit x-ray frequencies when de-excited
Involves irradiating samples with x-rays to excite element's inner electrons
To examine the elemental composition from different colored areas

Ultraviolet (UV) Spectrum

This causes their absorption to decrease
polyene is oxidized over time
using polyene

Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)

It gives an indication that there maybe is an under drawing
It must be confirmed by another technique
It doesnot directly detect the presence of metal nuclei
To detect anomalies beneath paintings
