Contributions to spectral imaging of oil paintings using standard medical X-ray equipment

摘要

The field of art conservation and art history has applied spectral imaging since the early 1990s. The spectral range explored has been from the microwave, through the infrared (IR), visible and ultraviolet (UV), to X-ray, using both reflectance and fluorescence techniques, and in the case of Xrays also transmission spectroscopy.
