Abstract: A fluid handling structure for a lithographic apparatus, the structure having: an aperture for the passage therethrough of a beam; a first part; and a second part, wherein the first and/or second part define a surface for the extraction of immersion fluid, relative movement between the first and second parts is effective to change a position of fluid flow into or out of the surface relative to the aperture, and the first or second part has at least one through-hole for the fluid flow and the other of the first or second part has at least one opening for the fluid flow, the at least one through-hole and at least one opening being in fluid communication when aligned, the relative movement allowing alignment of the at least one opening with different ones of the through-hole to change the position of the fluid flow into or out of the surface.

Abstract: An inspection substrate for inspecting a component, e.g. a liquid confinement system, of an apparatus for processing production substrates, e.g. a lithographic apparatus, the inspection substrate comprising: a body having dimensions similar to a production substrate so that the inspection substrate is compatible with the apparatus; an illumination device, e.g. light emitting diodes, embedded in the body; a sensor, e.g. an imaging device or a pressure sensor, for generating inspection information relating to a parameter of a component of the apparatus proximate to the inspection substrate, the sensor embedded in the body; and a storage device embedded in the body, the storage device configured to store the inspection information, e.g. image data.
