The projection objective is a catadioptric projection objective having at least one concave mirror arranged in a region of a pupil surface of the projection objective, and a negative group having at least one negative lens arranged in direct proximity to the concave mirror in a region near the pupil surface, where a marginal ray height (MRH) of the imaging is greater than a chief ray height (CRH).
