Abstract
The frequency band below the mid-infrared region was studied actively in the 1960s and 1970s during the development of FTIR spectroscopy. While researchers explored the use of this “far-infrared” region for spectroscopy at that time, only the mid-infrared region has become commonly used in FTIR methods. Spectra of typical art materials, such as pigments and binders, are introduced, and factors which affect the spectra are discussed.
