“…Today the composition of most materials can be qualitatively determined in a micro-destructive/non-destructive way using portable XRF instruments [141][142][143][144][145]. In some cases (homogeneous materials, flat surfaces) the measurement can be quantitative: LIBS instruments [145,146] allow profiling the composition from the surface to the bulk, by means of a few microns-sized laser beam that drills the sample.…”

The birth of Chemistry can be found in two main practices: (i) the Arts du feu (ceramic and glass, metallurgy, i.e., inorganic and solid state chemistry) and (ii) the preparation of remedies, alcohols and perfumes, dyes, i.e., organic and liquid state chemistry). After a brief survey of the history of (glazed) pottery and (enameled) glass artifacts, the development of destructive and non-destructive analytical techniques during the last few centuries is reviewed. Emphasis is put on mobile non-destructive Raman microspectroscopy of pigments and their glass/glaze host matrices for chronological/technological expertise. The techniques of white opacification, blue, yellow, green, red, and black coloring, are used as examples to point out the interest of pigments as chronological/technological markers

“…Pigment identification was carried out with two portable EDXRF instruments. On one hand, a tailored homemade equipment composed of an Ag‐X‐ray tube (ECLIPSE III, Amptek), with a voltage and intensity ranging up to 30 kV and 100 μA, respectively, and a Si‐PIN detector (XR‐100CR, Amptek), with a resolution of 220 eV (FWHM 55 Fe) was used. In this case, the points of interest on the sample surface were located by a system composed of a level laser crossed with a pointer laser to determine the intersection point of the incident X‐ray beam and detector axis (Figure a).…”

Spectroscopic analysis of polychromic sculptures belonging to the cultural heritage of Extremadura (Spain)

Several spectroscopic techniques have been applied in order to characterize the polychrome pigments used in some religious sculptures, from the 13th to the 18th centuries, belonging to the cultural heritage of Extremadura (west of Spain). First, two energy‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence portable devices were used. The measurements were carried out in situ, where the artworks were been restored. In addition to these nondestructive analyses, various samples with a millimeter size were taken from some of the sculptures and embedded in polyester resins. The stratigraphy of these fragments was observed through an optical microscope. Finally, they were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope in a low‐vacuum mode with two different detectors. Results show a wide range not only in pigments but also in the methods used in their realizations. Moreover, the variety of pigments found allows distinguishability from different restorations carried out along centuries.

“…The instrument is handheld, meaning that in-situ analysis are possible, which requires little or no sample preparation or modification. X-ray penetration depends on the material, but it's not much than a few microns, which makes this method ideal for pigment analysis [31,32].…”
