The visual inspection of sealing rings for quality control is studied with regard to lighting requirements and visibility assessment. Laboratory experiments and field studies suggest an unconventional lighting scheme for optimum contrast rendering of defects. A visibility analysis provides hints for improving the probability of detection.
