Reflection

This is an optical effect where light bounces or returns once it strikes the external and internal surfaces of a gemstone.

Refraction

This is an optical effect where light deviates or changes its direction once it enters in a gemstone.

Resolution

This parameter refers to an imaging system's ability to reproduce object detail. It can be influenced by factors such as the type of lighting used, the sensor pixel size, and the capabilities of the optics. The smaller the object detail, the higher the required resolution.
