Abstract
A selective shading device has a number of shading plates or planar members and a supporting body that holds the plates or planar members in such a manner that they are arrranged radially with respect to an optical axis. The device blocks sagittal bundles of rays. A preferred example of the supporting body is a cylindrical frame that holds the shading plates perpendicularly to the inner surface thereof. Alternatively, the shading planar members are formed within a lens element along the edge thereof.
