Abstract
We present terahertz reflection images of hidden paint layers in a painting on canvas. We compare these with results obtained using x-ray radiography and near-infrared imaging. Contrary to other techniques, we show that terahertz imaging is capable of providing information on the thickness of the hidden paint layers. We also present early results on reflection measurement of different colored paints applied on a thick copper plate.
