Study Guide

Objective

After you have completed the course you
- know the basics of colour and optics theory
- can identify the most common natural pigments using analysis charts and indication reactions
- can measure colour spectra with a spectrophotometer
- can identify the spectra of the most common pigments using reference spectra
- know the basics of organic chemistry
- understand the connection between basic chemistry knowledge and materials in conservation and restoration and their properties
- know the basics of XRFanalysis and know how to measure XRF spectra of samples and compare these to reference spectra.
