Fibre-optic reflectance spectroscopy is widely used as a tool for the analysis of coloured
materials such as pigments and paints. We describe a new design for a FORS probe which …

Reflectance spectroscopy (or spectrophotometry) in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared
(UV-vis-NIR, 350–2500 nm) wavelength range is an analytical method that measures how …

The use of ultraviolet and visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry as a preliminary
technique in the investigation of illuminated manuscripts is discussed. Because ancient …

Diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared (UV-vis-
NIR) range is becoming a widely-used tool for the non-invasive analysis of cultural heritage …

Reflectance spectroscopy supplies fundamental information for investigating art objects and
diagnosing their state of conservation. Until recently, reflectance spectra could be measured …

Fiber Optic Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS) is a well-established technique for the study
of traditional artworks. Nevertheless, its application for the analysis of modern and …

UV-Vis reflectance spectroscopy has been widely used as a non-invasive method for the
study of cultural heritage materials for several decades. In particular, FORS, introduced in …

Conclusion From the results reported, the FORS device can be considered a useful and non-
