RS – PDfs, Database, and Software

Welcome to the Reflectance Spectroscopy Resources page — your central repository for all the downloadable materials that support the Reflectance Spectroscopy course. Reflectance spectroscopy is a powerful analytical method used to characterize materials based on how they reflect light across different wavelengths. Whether you are just beginning to explore this technique or are already applying it to practical problems in art, archaeology, geology, or materials science, having access to clear documentation, software tools, and reference guides is essential.

This page brings together a comprehensive set of PDFs, manuals, case studies, and software that complement the lessons in the course. You will find instructional guides that explain theoretical concepts, step-by-step procedures, and best practices for collecting and interpreting reflectance spectra. In addition, software tools are provided to help you process and visualize spectral data, enabling you to derive meaningful insights from your measurements.

All of these resources are organized for easy access so you can download what you need as you progress through the course or return to them as a reference when working on your own projects. By consolidating these materials in one location, we aim to make your learning experience smoother and more effective, empowering you to confidently apply reflectance spectroscopy in scientific and heritage contexts.
