New Advances in the Application of FTIR Microscopy and Spectroscopy for the Characterization of Artistic Materials

摘要

Fnourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is one of the mostnwidely applied techniques for the investigation of cultural heri-ntage materials. FTIR microscopy is well established as an essentiantool in the microdestructive analysis of small samples, and the recennintroduction of mapping and imaging equipment allows the collec-ntion of a large number of FTIR spectra on a surface, providing a dis-ntribution map of identified compounds.
