Wow, I didn't even recognize the parts you were talking about. Obviously I
don't know the parts names.

I have an E-500 and I keep hearing about bulbs, but I think all I have is an
electronic timer and a remote.

When you take the lens off, there is a small mirror, when I looked up from
there, there is another reflective surface and that is what has all the
hairs and lint on it, and how it got there beats me.

The vibration thingy apparently isn't powerful enough to clean the crap off
of it.

I don't know of a camera where you can see two mirrors from the lens  
opening.

The sensor is behind the mirror and behind the shutter curtain in a  
DSLR. Generally you access it from the bulb setting for the shutter  
with a fully charged battery and a locking shutter cable, or from a  
special cleaning setting on the menu with a plug in power supply.  
Each option flips the mirror out of the way and opens the shutter so  
you can get to the sensor.
