Micro X-ray fluorescence analysis (mu-XRF) is one of the newest branches of XRF, which has developed very rapidly since 1990. In this review, we first discuss a number of papers that describe advances in instrumentation and (calibration) methods that can contribute towards more reliable quantitative analysis using mu-XRF. This first part also includes recent papers that aim to characterize the heterogeneity of standards useful for calibrating mu-XRF set-ups. We then present a short overview of recently published papers in which the (semi-)quantitative nature of mu-XRF is exploited, including studies in which mu-XRF is compared to other microanalytical methods providing compositional information or is used in combination with other methods in order to characterize materials more completely.

Qualitative Comparison of Lock-in Thermography (LIT) and Pulse Phase Thermography (PPT) in Mid-Wave and Long-Wave Infrared for the Inspection of Paintings

Michael Hillen, Seppe Sels, Bart Ribbens, Simon Verspeek, Koen Janssens, Geert van der Snickt, Gunther Steenackers

Summary: When studying paintings with active infrared thermography (IRT), lock-in thermography (LIT) showed advantages over pulse thermography (PT) in minimizing temperature fluctuations and providing higher contrast and less noise in phase images. However, PT was better at showing the upper paint layer, which is important for observing subsurface defects or the support structure. The influence of camera spectral range on the results was also investigated, with the addition of a long-pass filter eliminating direct reflection artifacts caused by halogen light sources when using a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) camera.

Summary: This study examines the chromatic alteration of various paint types on mural painting fragments from The Upper Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi in Italy using synchrotron radiation. The fragments are from ceiling paintings attributed to Cimabue and Giotto, with different discoloration in white, blue/green, and brown/yellow/orange areas. X-ray fluorescence and diffraction maps were collected from the fragments, and paint cross-sections were analyzed using microscopic X-ray fluorescence and powder diffraction mapping. The study identified numerous secondary products on the painted surfaces, including copper tri-hydroxychloride, corderoite, calomel, plattnerite, scrutinyite, whewellite, and weddellite.
