tlooto Summary

New approach for identifying light-sensitive objects based on direct nondestructive lightfastness measurements is described.

Abstract

A new approach to identifying artifacts sensitive to visible light exposure, based on the direct measurement of the lightfastness of materials that compose the object, is described. An instrument h...
