Welcome to the Multispectral Imaging (MSI) Downloads page — your central hub for all the essential resources needed to support MSI workflows with the Antonello filter system. Whether you are just beginning your journey into multispectral art examination or advancing toward deeper analytical applications, this page gathers in one place the tools, documentation, and reference materials that accompany the lessons in this course.
Here you will find downloadable software that powers key steps in the MSI process, including image registration, spectral analysis, and visualization tools tailored to the multispectral datasets you generate. Alongside the software, we provide manuals and user guides that offer clear instructions and practical insights, helping you understand both workflow procedures and specific functionalities with confidence.
In addition, this page includes case study PDFs — real examples of multispectral imaging applied to works of art and cultural heritage objects. These case studies illustrate how MSI reveals material differences, hidden features, and spectral behaviors that are not visible with traditional imaging methods, offering inspiration and context for your own projects.
By consolidating software, manuals, and inspiring examples in one place, this page is designed to be a lasting reference as you learn, practice, and apply multispectral imaging in your scientific examination of artworks and archaeological materials.
Learn Multispectral Imaging
Multispectral imaging is a powerful extension of Technical Photography and a key step toward advanced scientific examination of art and archaeology. With the Antonello system, this approach becomes accessible, structured, and affordable, even for those without a strong technical background. If you are a conservator, scientist, or art collector and you are not yet using multispectral imaging, you are missing a valuable source of information. By capturing images under selected wavelength bands, the Antonello system helps reveal material differences, pigment distributions, and hidden features in a fully non-invasive way. Multispectral imaging with Antonello offers a practical and reliable starting point for evidence-based art analysis.
