THE ANALYSIS OF PAINT SAMPLES FROM OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT.
Author(s): J G McDonnell
Cross-sections of paint samples from Osborne House (which was built in the 19th century) were analysed using the Scanning Electron Microscope in the Back Scattered Electron mode and with energy dispersive X-Ray analysis. The results show that the pigment used in the white paint changed from lead based to titanium based, with an intervening period in which several different pigments were used, including zinc and barium compounds.
