Arthur Streeton
Infrared analysis of Arthur Streetson's Sydney Harbour at Cromourne (Ewing Collection, University of Melbourne).
A study of matrix effects of pigments in paints using micro-XRD
This study explores the use of micro-X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the identification of pigments.
Raman investigation of Middle Eastern Manuscripts
Raman spectroscopy is a particularly useful tool for manuscript investigation, providing “through air” analysis of works of art giving a high degree of analytical results without the need to take samples.
The use of infrared imaging in the study of artists' techniques: Infrared reflectography
Research into the system and setup of infrared imaging that can reveal the underdrawing that lies below the paint surface.
