Abstract
Examples of a few objects are presented, where the electron microprobe has proved that it can provide the conservator and the curator with information that will help in evaluating the authenticity of a particular art object. They will also obtain a better understanding of how an object was fabricated and what materials it was made from. The results of the analysis of paint samples, samples from metal artifacts, as well as specimens from marble sculptures, are described.
