- Abstract
This article discusses the use of pump-probe microscopy as a new technique in the field of conservation science for analyzing cultural heritage artifacts. The technique generates three-dimensional spatial images of the electronic state dynamics of the sample, providing molecular specificity. The article specifically focuses on the analysis of carbon-based black pigments, which are historically significant and commonly used in artworks. The researchers demonstrate that pump-probe microscopy can reveal unique optical features of these pigments and can be used to identify them in complex mixtures with other pigments.
