A plurality of collimator leaves (3) at a time are arranged in front of the mirror (4) and behind the mirror (4) in the direction of radiation (R) of the X-ray beam (S), and are rigidly coupled together, the individual collimator leaves (3) each being arranged in collimation planes (E1–E14) which are orientated at least approximately normal to the direction of radiation (R) of the X-ray beam (S).
