Differential X-Ray Attenuation in MA-XRF Analysis for a Non-invasive Determination of Gilding Thickness

Differential X-Ray Attenuation in MA-XRF Analysis for a Non-invasive Determination of Gilding Thickness

When investigating gilded artifacts or works of art, the determination of the gilding thickness plays a significant role in establishing restoration protocols or conservation strategies. Unfortunately, this is done by cross-sectioning the object, a destructive approach not always feasible. A non-des...
