LightWith a solid enclosure and 16 cm distance between the camera lens to the object it can get pretty dark for the camera.
Assembleon made three different light stages, to get a good as possible ambient light source preventing shining in the camera and preventing reflections, thus increasing contrast.
One set of four powerleds are on the bottom shining against the bottom plate reflecting the light up (C), one half way through holes in the side of the cilinder (B) and just under the top a ring of leds to light the object from the side (A).
The bottom and side leds are red Lumileds Luxeon powerleds with 44Lm each, total 4 on the bottom, 4 in the middle.
The ring consists of 60+ small red leds with a matt polycarbonate diffusor ring, creating an evenly distributed circle of light.
I hope you liked this small teardown, if some of you also have interesting P&P parts lying around, please show them
