Abstract

In order to increase the ruggedness and the scattered radiation attenuation quality, a grid (3) with comb elements (12) which absorb electromagnetic radiation and are intended to form a grid is constructed, in such a manner that comb lamellae (11) extend transversely of an associated comb base surface which supports the comb lamellae (11).
