Patent ID: 7350926

Claim:
A light source apparatus comprising: a light emitting tube having a first electrode in a first end thereof and a second electrode in a second end thereof, a concave-shaped reflector having a bore in a vertex portion thereof, the bore supporting said light emitting tube so that the first end is inserted therethrough and the second end is directed toward a front opening portion of said concave-shaped reflector, a transparent glass plate covering the front opening portion of said concave-shaped reflector, a lead wire of which one end connects to said second electrode and of which the other end extends out through a hole formed on a curved slope or a side surface of said concave-shaped reflector, a cooling fan blowing cooling air toward a side portion of said concave-shaped reflector, and an air guiding member that separates the cooling air originating from said cooling fan into a first, a second, and a third cooling air, the first cooling air cooling an outer surface of said concave-shaped reflector, the second cooling air cooling the other end of said lead wire extending out from said concave-shaped reflector, and the third cooling air cooling said transparent glass plate, the light source apparatus further comprising: an ultraviolet and infrared reflection filter upon which light is incident, the light having been reflected by said concave-shaped reflector and passing through said transparent glass plate, wherein said reflection filter has an infrared reflecting film on one surface thereof and an ultraviolet reflecting film on the other surface thereof, and wherein said reflection filter is disposed so that the surface having the infrared reflecting film thereon faces toward said transparent glass plate.
