Design a Museum Display

For this project, you'll set up a museum display that conveys how spectra are used in art conservation.

Hokusai Pigments Part 1: Spectra

Spectrum Tool. Compare the spectra of some of the regions of interest (ROI) with comparison pigments to see if you can identify them.

  1. Under Source 1, use the Select Hokusai ROI dropdown menu to view a spectrum for each region of interest.
  2. Under Source 2, use the Select pigment dropdown menu to view a spectrum for different pigments of each color.

Spectrum Notebook.

  1. For each ROI, write the pigment names in your notebook table.
  2. Some pigments may be easier to identify from their spectra than others. Use the last column to note the ROIs where you have confidence in your pigment identification
