TL;DR: A 3D micro X-ray fluorescence (micro-XRF) analysis method based on a confocal Xray set-up is presented in this article, which is evaluated and illustrated with depth sensitive investigations of paint layers in ancient Indian Mughal miniatures.

TL;DR: In this paper, modern bones were experimentally heated in order to monitor the changes of FTIR spectral features related to an evolution of mineral properties, and the results obtained on modern and fossil bones demonstrate that low temperature heating and diagenetic processes may induce similar effects on bone mineral.

TL;DR: High-definition (spectral) imaging appears as the main driving force of the current trend for new synchrotron techniques for research on cultural and natural heritage materials.

TL;DR: The feasibility of 3D micro-XRF spectroscopy with a tabletop setup is demonstrated and its sensitivity in comparison to the synchrotron-based setup is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of complementary elemental and structural analyses (particle-induced x-ray emission, particle-induced γ-ray emissions, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), electron microprobe, xray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, TEM with EDX), microscopic observations, and porosity measurements are performed.
