IR camera systems can be used for reflectographic analyses to detect and visualize underdrawings in paintings. Five technologies have been compared: CCD Si, FPA InGaAs, FPA HgCdTe and InSb detectors, and a vidicon tube. The comparison has been performed studying the relative contrast measured on homogeneous pictorial layers in infrared regions between 800 and 5000nm. This comparison was completed through measurements of spectral transmittance (400-2500nm) made with a spectrometer. The results have been related to the kind of pigment and of medium and to the thickness of the layer. All the systems have been tested also on the field, on paintings belonging to different museums. Some results are discussed.

Abstract
IR camera systems can be used for reflectographic analyses to detect and visualize underdrawings in paintings. Five technologies have been compared: CCD Si, FPA InGaAs, FPA HgCdTe and InSb detectors, and a vidicon tube. The comparison has been performed studying the relative contrast measured on homogeneous pictorial layers in infrared regions between 800 and 5000nm. This comparison was completed through measurements of spectral transmittance (400-2500nm) made with a spectrometer. The results have been related to the kind of pigment and of medium and to the thickness of the layer. All the systems have been tested also on the field, on paintings belonging to different museums. Some results are discussed.Pubblicazioni consigliate
