Abstract
Subjects discussed include: the use of paint cross-sections, choice of pigments, particle size measurements, discussion of the location and dispersion of the distributions, discussion of the log-normal probability graphs, statistical testing for differences between the particle size dis-tributions, and measurement of the pigment volume concentration. Some statistically significant differences in pigment particle size distributions from various paintings have been shown.
