Comparison Shots on 3 sensors - Passing the time while stuck in.
With some time on my hands I thought I'd try a comparison (not very scientific) of my cameras against my old Stylus 1.
I've repeated a close up shot of a watch mechanism so try and discern any real world differences between 1-1.2, 1" and MFT sensor resolution. Some years apart as I no longer have the Stylus 1 and different software to edit the latest two.
Over all I see the MFT with 30mm Macro lens as better detailed - but there's not a lot in it.
But I can't really see much between the Lumix and Stylus1.

Without having seen your own conclusions, had a look at the three images and rate the MFT/macro shot distinctly the best of the three.

I would put my 'tick' against the OMD EM 10ii image but there is not a lot between the bottom 2.
One challenge is exactly where you will focused together with limited depth of field.
In the first 3, using the inner brass cog-wheel for detail, the Lumix has more detail and a little more contrast.
However if the in camera settings have not been adjusted to be as near equal as possible, combined with apparently different lighting on the 3 images, you are to some extent comparing apples to oranges.
The fourth image has a stronger light source (clarified with detail in the black background) - and slightly less detail in the brass cog-wheel than in your first set of 3 images.
I useful exercise could be to record the current menu settings for each cameras and then to adjust the settings to try to get 3 images more closely matching in contrast, white balance etc.
