Despite the rise of conservation science with an ever-increasing sophistication of chemical characterization tools, for over 100 years, the polarizing light microscope (PLM) has remained one of the most important analytical techniques for identifying artist pigments. This project aims to maximize the amount of information extracted from PLM by introducing digitization and image processing protocols designed to make the data collection/interpretation process more accurate and user-friendly.
