indispensable enemy of many art and heritage objects created with the use of
light-sensitive materials (organic dyes, some pigments, varnishes, etc.). Thanks to
the MFT method, preservation policies must no longer be based only on an educated guess and a general classification of objects to different light sensitivity
classes, but on a far more solid foundation of individual (and nondestructive) tests.
Although the technique is still at the initial stage of development, we believe that its
use will spread in the cultural constitutions and the MFT will become a widely used
tool in hands of not only CH researchers but also art conservators.
