A final element of a projection system of an immersion lithographic apparatus is configured for a liquid having a refractive index greater than a refractive index of the final element. In an embodiment, the final element comprises a convex meniscus shaped lens. Such a final element enables the effective numerical aperture of the lithographic apparatus to be increased and reduce total internal reflection of the projected beam as it passes through the final element to the liquid.
