Abstract

With a screen-filter-mirror unit installed in a sandwich architecture, an x-ray window on a patient or an object can also be visualized during an x-ray recording with a light window. It is advantageous that a screen, a filter and a light window unit are combined in just one unit and with a changing x-ray window only the unit is replaced and/or the attack angle of the unit and the alignment of a light source directed hereto can be attuned to one another.
