UV-Vis Luminescence imaging techniques = Técnicas de imagen de luminiscencia UV-Vis

Ever since its introduction in the field of conservation, the role of UV-Vis luminescence/ fluorescence imaging has been expanding, increasing its unique and significant contribution for the investigation of cultural heritage. This multi-authored book offers insights into the principles and basics of UV-Vis luminescence and fluorescence, and highlights their application in different conservation fields in case-study chapters that offer suggestions and inspiration for use in different conservation specialisms, from the investigation and identification of pigments and coatings to the characterization of degradation products or the evaluation of conservation treatments. Each chapter can be read independently. In combination, the chapters provide interesting opportunities for cross-comparison between terminology, methodology and application.
