Abstract: In order to reduce a radiation dose delivered to an object or an observer, a facility for monitoring handling of the object has an optical unit configured to direct ionizing radiation onto the object and also a filter element in order to attenuate a part of the ionizing radiation. An imaging unit may detect portions of the ionizing radiation passing through the object in order to create an image of the object. A view acquisition system may acquire a viewing movement, and a control unit is configured, during a first operating mode, to control a position of the filter element as a function of the viewing movement. The control unit is configured to identify a predefined sequence of viewing movements and, as a function thereof, to switch into a second operating mode. The position of the filter element is controlled during the second operating mode as a function of an image analysis.
