peer agreement (net): +2illustrated expert report Explanation: Given the varying technologies, I wonder whether this would be the best and snappiest way of indicating that photos were involved? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2008-10-13 12:43:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would say in answer to your question that it may be a report based on photos and including photos -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2008-10-13 12:45:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps 'illustrated specialists' or experts' report' sounds better |

| Reference: Technologies Reference information: This, I believe, is the technology used, to ascertain under-painting: "infrared photography (IRP) Photography that registers infrared light. This requires a special film and lens filter, but can be done with a normal camera. IR films are sensitive up to around 900 nanometers, or just beyond the visible range in the electromagnetic spectrum. Digital cameras, some of which are more sensitive than IR film, can also be used for this purpose. Before the invention of infrared reflectography in the late 1960s, IRP was the only method to reveal underdrawings, for which it is only partially successful. infrared reflectography (IRR) Infrared reflectography was developed to overcome the limitations of infrared photography (IRP) in revealing underdrawing by penetrating farther into the infrared part of the spectrum. Recent digital cameras are equipped with infrared detectors that are sensitive up to 1,500-2,500 nanometers; filters can be used to further regulate the wavelength of study. With IRR, the paint surface is penetrated to a much greater extent than in IRP, although true blacks will remain opaque under infrared. Because of the relatively low resolution of IRR systems, a large number of close-up images (infrared reflectograms or IRRs) are necessary to document a painting." http://www.artmuseums.harvard.edu/mondrian/glossary.html "Communication between scientist, curator, and conservator can be hampered by the specialized language used to describe analytical instruments and procedures. As a contribution to overcoming this barrier, synopses are presented of chemical and physical methods employed in the examination of paintings and other works of art. The aim is to clarify the terminology, briefly describe each method, and indicate areas of application. Methods described include infrared, ultraviolet and fluorescence photography, infrared reflectography, x-radiography and electron emission radiography, light and scanning electron microscopy, x-ray spectrometry including x-ray secondary-emission (fluorescence) spectrometry and x-ray microanalysis, x-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy." http://www.cci-icc.gc.ca/publications/cidb/view-document_e.a... |
