ABSTRACT:
A projection objective of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus has a plurality of optical elements, for example lenses or mirrors. The objective furthermore includes an actuator for exerting a mechanical force that deforms a selected optical element of the projection objective. A manipulator modifies the spatial position of one of the optical elements as a function of the force exerted by the actuator.
