Explore 18 Spectral Images of the Pigments Checker

We present 18 spectral images of the Pigments Checker, collected with our Antonello Multispectral Imaging System. Each image captures the pigments under a different spectral band, revealing details invisible to the naked eye. This multispectral analysis allows you to study the unique reflectance and absorption properties of each pigment, offering invaluable insight for research, conservation, and teaching.

High-Precision Multispectral Analysis

Using the Antonello system, we recorded images from the violet through the visible spectrum and into the near-infrared range. By capturing pigments across this broad spectral range, multispectral analysis reveals their spectral differences usefuk for their identification, detect mixtures, and uncover underlying features that standard photography cannot detect.

A Powerful Tool for Art and Heritage Studies

Our multispectral imaging method is completely non-invasive, making it ideal for the study of paintings, manuscripts, and archaeological objects. Researchers and conservators can compare the spectral response of unknown samples to these reference images, improving the accuracy of pigment identification.

Moreover, the Pigments Checker is an established reference in heritage science. Having access to its 18 spectral images provides a solid basis for training, experimentation, and practical demonstrations.

From Data to Discovery

With this resource, you can move beyond simple visual inspection. By examining each spectral band, you can detect pigment substitutions, recognize degradation patterns, and confirm historical materials. The Antonello Multispectral Imaging System ensures consistent, calibrated results—making this dataset a reliable tool for both fieldwork and laboratory studies.

Through this collection, we invite you to explore the hidden world of pigments and experience the power of multispectral analysis in cultural heritage research.
