Streszczenie
The examination of paint fragments from the same easel painting was performed by means of micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (MK-FTIR). The analysis of chemical composition of each layer visible on cross-section of the chips appeared to be possible in most cases without any layer separation. The identification of small particles isolated from a layer was possible as well. Good reproducibility and high differentiation ability of the method was revealed.
