Abstract :
Terahertz spectroscopy and imaging techniques have been successfully applied to non-invasively investigate cultural heritage objects. One of the advantages of terahertz time domain imaging is that cross section images can be obtained without surface contact only by using a terahertz pulse. Experimental results revealed the presence of different preparation techniques in two medieval tempera masterpieces.
