Exposure to radiation from these sources can be hazardous to both eyes and skin.
The canopy flaps are electrically interlocked to prevent the operation of potentially hazardous light sources unless they
are properly lowered.

Gas discharge lamps are designed to emit broadband radiation, the spectrum of which exhibits features
characteristic of the noble gas used: e.g. Xenon. Flash tubes are used, with appropriate filtering, to
provide intense IR light to excite Anti-Stokes fluorescence.
