Abstract:
A connection arrangement for connecting an optical component of an optical imaging arrangement to a support unit of a support structure includes: a connecting element unit having a support interface end with support interface section; and a component interface end with a component interface section.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of connecting an optical component to a support unit of a support structure, the method comprising:\n providing a connecting element unit, which has a support interface end with support interface section and a component interface end with a component interface section, wherein the connecting element unit defines a force flow path between the support interface section and the component interface section; and mechanically connecting a support interface of the support interface section to the support unit and mechanically connecting a component interface of the component interface section to the component, such that support forces supporting the component flow along the force flow path, wherein:\n at least one parasitic load compensation unit is located in a vicinity of the component interface section and external to the force flow path; and \n the parasitic load compensation unit reduces and/or counteracts thermal expansion induced parasitic loads introduced in at least one parasitic load direction into the component as a result of thermal expansion of the connecting element unit in the at least one parasitic load direction.
