This document discusses the use of Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FTIR) to analyze binders in paint samples from easel paintings. It describes how FTIR can be used to identify proteinaceous and polysaccharide binders at the microscale directly from paint cross-sections. The technique is non-destructive and allows differentiation of natural resins, oils, and gums without pretreatment of the sample. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of FTIR microscopy for technical examination and reconstruction of artists' materials.
