A lithographic apparatus includes a radiation system having reflective optical elements constructed and arranged to condition a beam of radiation. The reflective optical elements include a first faceted mirror constructed and arranged to generate a plurality of source images on a second mirror. The lithographic apparatus also includes a facet mask constructed and arranged to selectively mask one or more of the facets of the first faceted mirror. The facet mask includes a masking blade selectively interposable into the beam.
