Development of confocal X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microscopy at the Cornell high energy synchrotron source
Arthur R. Woll,Jennifer L. Mass,Jennifer L. Mass,C. Bisulca,Rong Huang,Donald H. Bilderback,Sol M. Gruner,N. Gao +7 more
TL;DR: A confocal X-ray fluorescence microscope was built at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) to obtain compositional depth profiles of historic paintings as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photon-based techniques for nondestructive subsurface analysis of painted cultural heritage artifacts.
TL;DR: A number of fundamentally new approaches for fully imaging the buildup of hidden paint layers and other complex three-dimensional (3D) substructures have been put into practice, and these developments and their recent practical application with CH artifacts are discussed.

Recent developments in spectroscopic imaging techniques for historical paintings - A review
Matthias Alfeld,L. de Viguerie +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the application of scanning macro-XRF with mobile instruments for the investigation of historical paintings is presented, compared to synchrotron-based macro XRF imaging and Neutron Activation Auto-Radiography.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the confocal volume of 3D micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometer
TL;DR: In this article, the primary fluorescence intensity of 3D micro-XRF experiments is derived based on the fundamental parameter approach, where the confocal volume is defined by the X-ray optics used.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-definition X-ray fluorescence elemental mapping of paintings.
Daryl L. Howard,Martin D. de Jonge,D. Lau,David Hay,Michael Varcoe-Cocks,Chris Ryan,R. Kirkham,G.F. Moorhead,David Paterson,David Thurrowgood +9 more
TL;DR: A corrective procedure was devised to enhance the visualization of the elemental maps by using the elastic X-ray scatter as a proxy for the lead white overpaint, and foresee the technique applied to the most demanding of culturally significant artworks where conventional analytical methods are inadequate.
