ArtView is a non-destructive IR reflectance tool for analyzing heritage and art objects.

ArtView operates in a non-contact mode, using a reflectance method to measure the mid-IR spectrum of artifacts. Mid-IR spectroscopy can distinguish a wide range of organic and mineral materials, even when data quality is less than optimal.

ArtView collects data by reflectance. Even quite rough or dull surfaces can reflect enough mid-IR radiation to generate a spectrum that can be used to identify materials, or make useful comparisons.

  • Set up the ArtView probe and bring an object close to the probe end, or point the probe at the surface of a very large object
  • Collect data for fifteen or thirty seconds
  • Sample a range of sites on the surface within a few minutes
  • View and compare spectra in real time
  • Compare spectra to each other, to known samples, to spectral libraries
  • Answer questions about art objects in minutes without destructive sampling
