      because only product being irradiated goes there. no human should be in that area. plus with the lights off you see the ionized air. that would probably be washed out with another light source.

        for the same reason they sent a camera into it… to assist with visualization 🤨

          But you can see the radiation beam perfectly easily without illumination so what’s the actual problem

            the lighting should be consistent throughout the experiment so that the effect of the radiation cannot be confused with change in light levels. goodness, why would someone need that explained to them? you must not be the inquisitive type.
