Abstract
A contour collimator has diaphragm plates arranged in displaceable fashion relative to one another. Each diaphragm plate is individually engageable with an adjustment element shared by all of the diaphragm plates for displacing one diaphragm plate relative to the remaining diaphragm plates. An interlock mechanism in engagement with the remaining diaphragm plates retains those plates in their respectively existing positions during displacement of the one plate. The adjustment element is displaceable from the one diaphragm plate to another diaphragm plate which can then be displaced by the adjustment element while the other plates are retained in position.
