  • Abstract
    A novel optical-fiber instrument is presented for the monitoring of lighting in a museum environment. It makes use of blue wool standard dosimeters, the light-induced color-fading of which is continuously monitored by means of a miniaturized optical-fiber spectrophotometer. Field tests performed at the Uffizi Gallery of Florence are presented.
