OCT scanning is a non-invasive technique used by conservators for analyzing the surface layers of a painting.
OCT stands for optical coherence tomography, and it reveals a cross section of the top layers so they can distinguish yellowing varnish layers from pigment layers.
The National Gallery's Kristina Mandy demonstrates the technique in this YouTube video.
