An illumination system has illumination optics which guide EUV illumination light collected by a collector to an object field. The illumination optics have a field facet mirror and a pupil facet mirror. Pupil facets are part of transfer optics which image the field facets in a manner superposed on one another into the object field. The collector images a radiation source region into an intermediate focal region disposed downstream thereof. The latter constitutes the first image of the radiation source region in the beam path disposed downstream thereof. A constriction region not coinciding with the downstream focal region is situated between the collector and a first component of the illumination optics. |
