Figure 1. Spectral reflectance of paint consisting of various concentrations of azurite pigments in an egg tempera binding medium. The legends indicate the amount of egg tempera added to 1.5g of azurite. 
Figure 4. Effect of binding media on the spectral reflectance of paint: a) smalt pigment and b) Brazil wood lake pigment in an egg tempera, linseed oil and acrylic binding medium.
Figure 6. Kubelka-Munk theory predicting mixture of pigments. The dotted curve gives the predicted spectrum and the green curve give the measured spectrum of the actual mix. a) Measured reflectance of azurite (red), red earth (solid black) and a mixture of the two (green) in egg tempera compared with the predicted spectrum (dotted black) b) measured reflectance of azurite (red), lead tin yellow (solid black) and a mixture of the two (green) compared with the predicted spectrum (dotted black).
Figure 8. OCT cross-section images of various pigments (in a linseed oil binding medium) painted on glass microscope slides. 
Figure 9. OCT cross-section images of a) Kermes lake in linseed oil (~8 μ m thick layer); b) lake with lead white in linseed oil (~12 μ m thick layer) painted on a white Teflon board (short section on the left of the images are regions of bare Teflon). The faint dotted lines in the middle of the images are ghost images.

We present a proto-type portable remote multispectral imaging system, PRISMS (Portable Remote Imaging System for Multispectral Scanning), that is light-weight, flexible and without any cumbersome mechanical structure for in situ high resolution colour and spectral imaging of large and inaccessible paintings such as wall paintings. This is the first instrument to be able to image paintings at inaccessible heights in situ from ground level to produce not only high resolution colour images but also multispectral images.© (2007) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

... The reflectance spectra of the reference and the aged paint mock-ups are depicted in Figure 4. In agreement with [27], we found that, before the aging test, the morphology of the spectral curve of the reference mock-ups prepared with the same pigment was similar regardeless of the binder used. However, differences were found in the reflectance intensity between the samples made with the same pigment though with a different binder. ...

... This type of imaging system is based on the selection of specific wavelengths and the acquisition of black and white images, in order to underline the presence of non-homogeneous regions in the surface This technique provides non-invasive mapping and classification of materials with different chemical and optical properties. It is mentioned here, because it is very interesting, but there are no known applications that have allowed to characterize organic binders [30]. • Fiber optic reflectance spectroscopy (FORS). ...
