Abstract
We present examples of the application of the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to t he study of the artistic and cultural patrimony of the Comunidad Valenciana in the following areas: a) Valencian paintings of the XV and XVI centuries ; b) silver ornaments coming from Iberian towns (s. III b.C.); c) ink and p aper samples in manuscripts and engravings of the XVII and XIX centuries. T he non destructive analyses are carried out "in situ" using a XRF system th at consists of a tube of X-rays of 50 kV and 1 mA, and a detector of Si(Li) with an energy resolution 140 eV (FWHM at 5.9 keV).
