Insulation.

Explanation:

A calorimeter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for measuring the heat involved in reactions or other processes, especially by taking the measurement of the temperature of the materials surrounding the process.

Basically, a calorimeter is insulated using materials with very high level of resistivity so as to prevent heat transfer to the outside of the device (calorimeter).

This ultimately implies that, insulation of cylindrical vessel prevents the transfer of heat into or out of the calorimeter.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
