Abstract:
A lithographic apparatus having a first outlet to provide a thermally conditioned fluid with a first flow characteristic to at least part of a sensor beam path, and a second outlet associated with the first outlet and to provide a thermally conditioned fluid with a second flow characteristic, different to the first flow characteristic, adjacent the thermally conditioned fluid from the first outlet.

Claim (Index 28):
A lithographic apparatus comprising:\n a first component having a first surface; a second component having a second surface, wherein at least the second component is configured to move relative to the first component in a generally horizontal motion direction and the first and second surfaces are arranged to face each other; and at least one opening provided at the first surface or the second surface, the at least one opening configured to provide a flow of gas therefrom to be incident on the other of the first or second surface and to be along a first side of a measurement system part and along a second side of the measurement system part so as to establish a gas curtain that essentially encloses the measurement system part and reduces or prevents an inflow of ambient gas into a volume essentially enclosed by the gas curtain, the first side extending in a first direction and the second side generally extending in a second direction non-parallel to the first direction, the first and second directions being substantially parallel to the motion direction.
