An enhanced optical micro-fading device

Abstract

This paper introduces a new set-up for the determination of colour change on cultural heritage objects, referred to herein as a stereo-microfading tester. The system uses high quality optics through the implementation of a stereo-microscope as its central element. This technology enables new developments such as incorporation of high quality imaging systems, and separation of fading and colour measurement processes. This paper describes this new micro-fading set-up and evaluates its performance against traditional devices based on the measurement of blue wool standards. The results show a correlation between the fading performance obtained on different devices while highlighting a significant variability inherent to the blue wool samples
