Conservation of historic artifacts has been a multidisciplinary field from its very beginning. Traditionally, it has been and still is associated with the history of art. It applies knowledge from technical and basic sciences, adapting their solutions to its goals. At present, however, a new tendency is clearly emerging-scientific research is starting to play an increasingly important role not only as a service, but also by proposing new solutions both in the traditional conservation areas and in new areas of conservation activities. The above trend opens up new perspectives for the field of preservation of our heritage but may also create new threats. Therefore, the conservators' caution in introducing new technologies should always be justified; after all, they are responsible for the effects of any activities on the historic objects. This, quite selective review, discusses application of mass spectrometry techniques for the detection of various components that are important to the conservators of our heritage with particular focus on paintings. The text also contains some basic knowledge of technical details to introduce the methodology to a broader group of professionals.
历史文物保护从一开始就是一个多学科领域。传统上，它一直且仍然与艺术史相关联。它应用技术和基础科学的知识，并根据自身目标调整这些知识的解决方案。然而目前，一种新趋势正在明显显现——科学研究不仅作为一种服务开始发挥越来越重要的作用，而且在传统保护领域和新的保护活动领域提出新的解决方案方面也发挥着重要作用。上述趋势为我们遗产保护领域开辟了新的前景，但也可能带来新的威胁。因此，文物保护者在引入新技术时的谨慎态度总是要有正当理由的；毕竟，他们要对任何活动对历史文物造成的影响负责。这篇颇具选择性的综述讨论了质谱技术在检测对我们遗产保护者来说很重要的各种成分方面的应用，特别关注绘画。本文还包含一些技术细节的基础知识，以便向更广泛的专业人员群体介绍该方法。
