Anthony,

Because, as I said in another post, diffuse light sources mean diffuse over
the entire light source...completely even (to a degree, of course) over the
entire field, just like a cold light head does, as well as the light sources
on "other" scanners do.

Do you understand what a cold light head is, and how it works?  How it's
different than a condenser light source?
