Abstract Microspatially offset Raman spectroscopy (micro‐SORS) is a recently developed analytical technique combining SORS with microscopy. With this method, highly diffusely scattering microlayers such as painted stratigraphies can be noninvasively probed. In this study, we explore micro‐SORS for identifying the chemical composition of subsurface layers in real, street art mural paintings as a new nondestructive method for the characterization of their stratigraphy. Two micro‐SORS variants, defocusing and full micro‐SORS, were tested and compared.
