Solution 4] Shomei problem

This is a continuation from the previous post. Here is an image obtained by using a 2.5mm small ring illumination (high angle). The angle of incidence is close to 90 degrees of the coaxial illumination, so the image is relatively close to the coaxial illumination. The smooth areas that have been rubbed have turned white [...].
