  • The Ability of the EPR Mouse to Study Underpaintings

    Open AccessStanley E Liang, Olivia R Kuzio et al.ARTICLEHeritage2023References: 4

    The possibility of using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) mobile universal surface explorer (MOUSE) to study underpaintings is validated. The depth sensitivity of the EPR MOUSE is measured using an EPR standard, and is verified using three paramagnetic pigments in an acrylic binder under opaque acrylic layers of titanium white and lead white. The ability to distinguish and identify two layers of EPR signal-bearing pigments is shown using…

  • An Introduction to the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectral Library of Pigments

    Open AccessOlivia R Kuzio, Joseph P HornakARTICLEHeritage2022Cited by: 1References: 1

    A library cataloguing the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of artists’ pigments has been created. It contains spectral data collected using several spectrometers that operate at different frequencies for, currently, 51 pigments. The library is intended to serve as an open-access reference database for the scientific studies of cultural heritage objects that utilize this analytical technique. Furthermore, it is a living repository, in…

  • Mapping Pigments in a Painting with Low Frequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

    Open AccessShane McCarthy, Haley Wiskoski et al.ARTICLEHeritage2021Cited by: 2References: 2

    An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) mobile universal surface explorer (MOUSE) was recently introduced for noninvasively studying paramagnetic pigments in paintings. This study determined that the EPR MOUSE could map the spatial locations of four pigments in a simple impasto painting. Results from three spectral identification algorithms were examined to assess their ability to identify the pigments using an unsupervised approach. Resulting p…

  • The Noninvasive Analysis of Paint Mixtures on Canvas Using an EPR Mouse

    Open AccessElizabeth A Bogart, Haley Wiskoski et al.ARTICLEHeritage2020References: 1

    Many artists create the variety of colors in their paintings by mixing a small number of primary pigments. Therefore, analytical techniques for studying paintings must be capable of determining the components of mixtures. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is one of many techniques that can achieve this, however it is invasive. With the recent introduction of the EPR mobile universal surface explorer (MOUSE), EPR is no longer inva…
