Title: <title>Experimental comparison of three nondestructive testing diagnostics on pigments and ligands</title>
Abstract: ABSTRACT Three non destructive testing (NDT) techniques X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, laser indUced fluorescence (LIF)and fast luminescence imagining by an intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) have been applied to analyse a few mostcommon painting materials, namely natural and synthetic pigments and resins. A comparison of the experimental resultsobtained shows the applicability ofthese three methods and to observe and study an entire oil painting by a mobile stationfor situ diagnostics for restoration and conservation.Keywords: X-ray fluorescence, laser indUced fluorescence pigments, resins 1. INTRODUCTION Many scientific methods have been developed in the past decades in archeometry, namely in the examinations of museumobjects and painting. This actually occurred in two different directions. Research in nuclear and atomic laboratories hasbeen oriented mainly for dating, identification, ofmaterial in traces, and detection offorgeries. A second type of scientificwork is more directed in using non destructive (ND) analysis, i.e. where care is token no to damage the object being
