Abstract
For the chemical and structural analysis of paint pigments from a historic “Frankfurt Kitchen”, a correlative approach was employed, using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy complemented by X-ray phase analysis. This paper will demonstrate how metallographic techniques can be used for issues beyond our traditional area of activity.
Kurzfassung
Eine chemische und strukturelle Analyse von Pigmenten im Anstrich einer historischen „Frankfurter Küche“ wurde in einem korrelativen Ansatz mittels optischer Mikroskopie, Rasterelektronenmikroskopie und energiedispersiver Röntgenanalyse durchgeführt und mittels röntgenographischer Phasenanalyse ergänzt. Der Artikel stellt dar, wie Methoden der Metallographie auch für Fragestellungen jenseits unseres angestammten Tätigkeitsfelds genutzt werden können.
