Tips for observing plated cylindrical objects

Observation of a φ6mm plated cylindrical object
The microscope used was the “USB microscope TG500CS”
During polarized observation, the “Halation removal microscope HTG500CS” was used
   
<Observation example 1>Using a 56-LED ring light
   
<Observation example 2>Using a 56-LED ring light and a white V-block
   
<Observation example 3>Using an 80-LED ring light and polarizing filters on both the light source and the lens
   
<Observation example 4> Using twin-arm light to illuminate along the cylinder, without the ring light
Adding a polarizing filter only to the lens under the same conditions as above.
   
<Observation example 5>Using arch-type light (without the ring light)
