Patent Number: 7527390 
Title: Light Source Device 
Abstract: A light source device includes a first spheroidal mirror having first and second focal points, and a light source unit having a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements radially disposed on a support with respect to the axis of rotation of the first spheroidal mirror. Light beams from the semiconductor light emitting elements pass through the second focal point, reflect from the inner surface of the first spheroidal mirror, and are focused to the first focal point, and the axis of rotation and the light emission central axis of each of the semiconductor light emitting elements form an angle of 90 degrees or greater. The light source unit is removably attached to an opening provided at a non-reflective portion of the first spheroidal mirror so as to form an illumination unit.
