Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is one of the most favorable techniques applied in the art analysis field. Its unique characteristics, namely the organic and inorganic components identification, spatial resolution down to micrometers scale, control of the laser power and measuring conditions and fast identification are just some of the remarkable features of the technique. Moreover, Raman spectroscopy can be applied directly on the artefact and on the field, with mobile systems, without jeopardizing the integrity of the work of art. Other Raman approaches can be considered namely, microspatially offset Raman spectroscopy (micro-SORS) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) when it comes to the direct non-destructive stratigraphic analysis of art works and the characterization of organic compounds such as dyes.
