This volume is designed as a handbook for interpreting luminescence data and reviews applications in conservation that require robust and accurate methods for molecular analysis and material mapping. Molecular fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopy and imaging are well-established techniques that can be applied to the analysis of works of art. In this book, the theoretical aspects and fundamental parameters for data interpretation are presented, along with a review of instrumental techniques and recent developments. Examples of luminescent pigments and materials found in works of art are followed by a section on computational approaches that can aid data interpretation. In addition, numerous case studies on paintings, archaeological materials, stone, and organic materials are presented.

This book is dedicated to the memory of Austin.
