La première unité de formation d'images (15) forme des ondes électromagnétiques incidentes sur une image. L'unité de séparation (23) sépare les ondes électromagnétiques se déplaçant de la première unité de formation d'images (15) dans une première direction (d1) et une seconde direction (d2). La première unité de détection (19) détecte les ondes électromagnétiques qui se sont déplacées dans la première direction (d1) en provenance de l'unité de séparation (23). L'unité de blocage (25) bloque les ondes électromagnétiques Wos à l'extérieur de l'angle de champ en les empêchant de se déplacer vers la première unité de formation d'images (15). L'angle de champ est déterminé en fonction de la première unité de formation d'images (15) et de la première unité de détection (19).
