ULTRAVIOLET LINE ILLUMINATING APPARATUS, CONTACTING IMAGE SENSOR, IMAGE READING APPARATUS, AND REDUCED OPTICAL SYSTEM IMAGE READING APPARATUS

摘要

To provide an ultraviolet line illumination apparatus to be incorporated into an apparatus for reading information of a document, for example a bill or bank note, printed with ink which emits fluorescence when being irradiated with ultraviolet rays. An ultraviolet line illumination apparatus 1 is configured by a rod-shaped light guide body 2 made of a cycloolefin-based resin, a light guide body case 3 to be loaded with the light guide body, and an ultraviolet LED light emission unit 4 attached to an end section of the light guide body case 3.
