    摘要: An apparatus and method for maintaining immersion fluid (212) in the gap adjacent the projection lens (16) during the exchange of a work piece (208) in a lithography machine (10) is disclosed. The apparatus and method includes an optical assembly (16) configured to project an image onto a work piece (208) and a stage assembly (202) including a work piece table (204) configured to support the work piece (208) adjacent the optical assembly (16). An environmental system (26) is provided to supply and remove an immersion fluid (212) from a gap between the optical assembly (16) and the work piece (208) on the stage assembly (202). After exposure of the work piece (208) is complete, an exchange system (216) removes the work piece (208) and replaces it with a second work piece. An immersion fluid containment system (214) is provided to maintain the immersion liquid (212) in the gap during removal of the first work piece (208) and replacement with the second work piece.

    摘要: An interferometer measuring system comprising two moveable members and a reference member that may have significantly less movement, the group having a number of attached measurement mirrors, interferometers for measuring position and two optical support blocks for the interferometers. The interferometers are used to determine the measured optical path lengths to each of the moveable members and reference member and these positions are used to calculate the misalignment, or error in the relative positions of the moveable members with respect to the reference member. This calculated error is then used to correct the misalignment by moving the appropriate members in the manner directed by the calculation.

    摘要: The present invention is in the photographic field, and is used to measure the sensitometric characteristics of a photographic element (1), like for example a photographic film strip. The present invention relates more particularly to an exposure system (38) enabling the production of a sensitometric control patch with exposure gradient (10), (20), placed on a photographic element (1), and enabling the measurement of the sensitometric characteristics (40) of the photographic element (1).
    The exposure system (38) comprises a light energy source (31) servo connected to a management module of the exposure parameters (35). The exposure system (38) enables the production on the exposed film strip (1) of the unique sensitometric control patch (10), (20), so that this sensitometric control patch includes a gradient of exposure areas (12), (14), (16), (22), (24), (26) enabling all the sensitometric characteristics (40) of said photographic film to be obtained. The sensitometric control patch (10), (20) is produced from the nominal sensitometric characteristics (41) of the film (1), and the instantaneous speed of relative movement of said film in front of the light energy source (31).
    The present invention has its application in the photography field and in particular the motion picture field.
