Description

Examining an object under regular lighting is a first step to discovering more about it. However, other forms of light, from x-rays to the infrared, can be used to reveal more information than we can see by eye. Join conservation scientist Matthew Clarke to learn more about how NMAA conservators use light to research works of art.
