I have kept an identified accepted polished cover and a judged rejected one for our FR5 camera review. That avoids the sample-link problem I raised elsewhere. The remaining issue is seating: a bright streak moves when the accepted cover is reseated, and the current holder lets it rest in two positions.
Compare the two positions with the same accepted and rejected covers before buying another light; that was the cheap first comparison I wanted for our trim-plate examples too.
Thomas, not reliably from the loading side. Sam, both retained covers are in the comparison. We are keeping the full frames and noting the seat rather than sorting images into scratch folders.
Yes, Jane. The rejected cover's faint scuff is much less visible in the second position. The accepted cover also looks less streaky there, which makes that view tempting for the wrong reason.
Thomas, exactly, and Pavel already has the two physical judgements needed to explain why fewer bright bits is not automatically a better inspection image.
A changed locating contact to make the unintended seat unavailable. It is a proposal, not a modified holder yet. We will repeat both covers and representative production pieces if that change is made.
Quality and the tooling engineer will review it together, Jane, including surface condition before and after handling. Oliver, the old labelled training copies are withdrawn too.
