Abstract:
The invention relates to a vibration isolation system (VIS) comprising:—a base ( 10 );—a coupling element ( 20 ) to be coupled to a vibration sensitive object;—a vibration isolator ( 30 - 34 ) arranged between the base and the coupling element;—a bellows ( 50 ) to be arranged between the VIS coupling element or the vibration isolator and a protective housing ( 40 ) surrounding the vibration sensitive object; and—one or more separate damping elements to act on convolutions of the bellow,

Claim (Index 26):
A lithographic apparatus comprising:\n an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam; a base frame; a support frame carrying the illumination system; a protective housing surrounding the support frame, wherein the protective housing is carried by the base frame; a vibration isolation system comprising:\n a base; \n a coupling element configured to be coupled to a vibration sensitive object; \n a vibration isolator arranged between the base and the coupling element; \n a bellow configured to be arranged between the coupling element or the vibration isolator and a protective housing surrounding the vibration sensitive object; and \n one or more separate damping elements to act on convolutions of the bellow, \n wherein the one or more separate damping elements are constructed to lower a combined dynamic stiffness of the bellow including the separate damping elements to below a dynamic stiffness of the vibration isolator for a predetermined frequency range, \n wherein the base of the vibration isolation system is mounted to or part of the base frame, \n wherein the coupling element of the vibration isolation system is coupled to the support frame, and \n wherein the bellow is arranged between the coupling element or vibration isolator and the protective housing.
