[ 2 ] Exposure lamp
External electrode type xenon fluorescent lamp is used as an exposure lamp in this equipment.
1. Structure
Fluorescer is applied on the inside surface of the lamp pipe (except a part to be an opening) which is
filled with the xenon gas.
A pair of the external electrodes covered by the film with the adhesive agent is attached over the
pipe.

2. Behavior inside the lamp
The electron inside the pipe is led to the electric field by applying voltage to the pair of the external
electrodes, and discharge is started. Electrons then flow and clash with the xenon atoms inside the
pipe to excite them, and generate ultraviolet rays. These ultraviolet rays excite the fluorescent
substance to generate visible light.
