WHAT IS X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (XRF) and the Applications of XRF in the Elemental Analysis of Artwork
In this video, we learn about X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, how XRF spectroscopy works, and how we can use XRF in cultural heritage. We learn how each element has a specific fingerprint in XRF analysis, which enables us to use XRF in art for the elemental analysis of artwork. Some of the applications of XRF in cultural heritage include the analysis of paintings, sculptures, mosaics, coins, etc. X-ray fluorescence can also be used for the XRF mapping of paintings, revealing the distribution of elements in paintings.
Comment below and let me know if you could analyze with XRF any object or site of cultural heritage, which one would you choose?

About me: My name is Maria Baias. I'm a scientist and a Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer. When I was working in academia, in my research, I use different scientific methods to study precious objects of cultural heritage, such as ancient mummies and bones, paintings, and violins. One of my scientific research projects involves developing a scientific method to identify fake paintings. I love our world heritage and I want to share with the world fascinating cultural heritage stories through my videos, my blog, and my novels.
