This course emphasizes a practical approach to coatings examination,
from overall inspection techniques to spot analysis:

It covers observation with visible and ultraviolet light, solubility
tests, examination of cross-sections, microchemical tests as well as
histochemical staining methods.  Useful tips are provided for the
use of specific equipment and facilities.  Health and safety issues
are also addressed.

In addition, the course conveys fundamental information about the
primary materials used in different types of coatings, their
chemical and physical properties, as well as factors influencing
deterioration and surface phenomena.

With the help of detailed explanation of the basic information, it
is also possible to learners with little previous knowledge to get
into the subject.

During the term of the course, a graduated conservator is available
to all participants via e-mail.  Students of the Faculty of
Architecture, Engineering and Conservation can get credit points for
the course.
