    摘要: An optical element (1) made of a material that is transparent to wavelengths in the UV region, which optical element (1) includes an oleophobic coating (6, 7) outside of its optically free diameter whose disperse component of the surface energy is preferably 25 mN/m or less, particularly preferably 20 mN/m or less, in particular 15 mN/m or less. In addition or as an alternative, the optical element (1) within its optically free diameter comprises an oleophilic coating (9b, 9c) that is transparent to wavelengths in the UV region, with the disperse component of the surface energy of this coating preferably being more than 25 mN/m, particularly preferably more than 30 mN/m, in particular more than 40 mN/m. The optical element may be provided in an arrangement in which it dips at least partially into an organic liquid.

    摘要: An optical arrangement for use in an optical imaging process includes an optical element, an immersion zone and a liquid repelling device. During the optical imaging process, the immersion zone is located adjacent to the optical element and is filled with an immersion liquid. The optical element has a first surface region and a second surface region. During the optical imaging process, the first surface region is wetted by the immersion liquid. At least temporarily during the optical imaging process, the liquid repelling device generates an electrical field in the region of the second surface. The electrical field being is adapted to cause a repellent force on parts of the immersion liquid which are responsive to the electrical field and inadvertently contact the second surface region. The repellent force has a direction to drive away the parts of the immersion liquid from the second surface region.
