Talks

From the Lab to the Museum:
Macro-XRF Scanning in Action

Excerpts from a talk by Dr Paola Ricciardi of The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, with case studies of how they use macro-XRF to analyse pigments in manuscripts and paintings. Analysing elements in pigments provides valuable information about the types of paints used, for dating fragments and identifying alterations.
