ELIOS 2 USER MANUAL

Page 25 of 106

Figure 3: (left) with the Close-up light on – No dust removal, (right) Close-up light off – dust removal

OBLIQUE LIGHTING

The side panels can also be lit individually. If the drone is simultaneously positioned at a shallow angle to a
surface then it will create shadows which greatly accentuate deformations and holes.

Figure 4: (left) oblique light not used – the surface appeared quite flat. (right) Oblique light in use highlighting

relief. In this case, pitting and weld.
