Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a charging roller including elastic and surface layers and a photoconductor drum. Initially, the surface layer has a surface roughness Rz of 3-6 ?m, and the layers have an impedance ratio of 0.81 or less in absolute value at a frequency of 800-3000 Hz.

Abstract: An image information reading apparatus has a sheet feeder for feeding a stimulable phosphor sheet and a reading unit for scanning the stimulable phosphor sheet two-dimensionally. The reading unit has a storage zone for separating the stimulable phosphor sheet in its entirety from the sheet feeder and temporarily storing the stimulable phosphor sheet. The reading unit does not require a nip releasing mechanism for releasing the stimulable phosphor sheet from a nipping action of the sheet feeder when the stimulable phosphor sheet is scanned.

Abstract: A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a device for irradiating stimulating rays to a stimulable phosphor sheet, on which radiation image information has been stored, the stimulating rays causing the stimulable phosphor sheet to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon during its exposure to radiation. The apparatus also comprises a light guiding system, which is provided with a light guide member and a mirror and which guides the emitted light, and a device for detecting the guided light and thereby reading out the radiation image information. A mirror body provided with the mirror is constituted for rotation. The mirror body has a light guide member dust removing brush, which rotates due to rotation of the mirror body, comes into contact with the light guide member, and removes dust clinging to the light guide member. A mirror dust removing brush comes into contact with the mirror due to rotation of the mirror body and removes dust clinging to the mirror.
