The available analytical methods cover:

Microscopic techniques

• Incident light microscopy (light field, dark field, differential interference contrast, UV fluorescence),
  magnification 100 – 1000 times
• Transmitted light microscopy (light field, dark field, polarisation),
  magnification 100 – ca. 600 times
• Electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray detection – SEM/EDX (using an instrument at the Institute for Art and Technology, University of Applied Arts Vienna,

Spectrometric techniques

• Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry – GC/MS
• Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry – Py-GC/MS
• Portable µ-X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer – µ-XRF (in preparation)
