ABSTRACT:
There is provided an illumination system. The illumination system includes a source for light having a wavelength ≦193 nm, a field plane, and a collector having a mirror shell for receiving a part of the light. The mirror shell is arranged so that a real image of the source is formed and comes to lie in a plane that is defocused relative to the field plane by more than 30 mm, so that the field plane is illuminated in a predetermined region, substantially homogeneously.
