Abstract

An x-ray spectrometer has been designed for pixel by pixel analysis along lines or across selected areas of paintings and other art-objects. Characteristic technical data are: 0.8mm2 pixel size, 800mm (vert.) by 1000mm (horiz.) by 200mm (perpendicularly to object) motion distances, ±20μm precision in positioning the system, 2x3m maximum object size (mounted vertically); 2.8kW x-ray tube; Si(Li)detector. PC's are used for instrument control and new, complex data evaluation software.
