    摘要: A arrangement serves for the adjustment of an optical element (1), in particular of a lens in an optical system, in particular in a projection lens system for semiconductor lithography. The optical element (1) is mounted in a mount (3) by means of a number of bearing feet (2) distributed over the circumference of the optical element (1) and is selectively deformable by actuators (5). At least some of the bearing feet (2) are engaged by the actuators (5) in a region of the respective bearing foot (2) in such a way that the respective bearing foot (2) can be displaced in the direction of the optical axis (7).

    摘要: Arranged in a system for setting and maintaining a gas atmosphere in an objective having at least one optical element is a first, inner gas compartment that is separated from a second, outer gas compartment by an inner casing. Both gas compartments are provided with gas inlet and gas outlet openings. At least one of the two gas compartments is under a pressure that is higher than the ambient pressure.

    摘要: In the case of a mounting apparatus, an optical element having an inner mount and an outer mount, in particular a lens in a projection lens system for semiconductor lithography, the inner mount is connected to the outer mount via three circumferentially distributed articulations. Manipulators, whereby said inner mount is displaceable, act on the articulations. The articulations comprise a mechanism which transforms a radial movement into an axial movement.

    摘要: In the case of an adjusting apparatus for an optical element in a lens system, in particular a lens in a projection lens system for semiconductor lithography, for producing tilting movements, having at least one actuator, the optical element is connected via elastic connecting members, directly or indirectly via an inner mount, to an outer mount. The elastic connecting members or the at least one actuator are/is provided in each case with bearing bridges which have bearing locations for a connection to the optical element or to the inner mount, and bridge arms which are connected to the bearing locations. The bridge arms are provided with piezoceramic elements in plate or sheet form which undergo changes in length upon activation. The piezoceramic elements of the various bearing bridges can be activated individually or together.
