An objective (1), in particular for a microlithography projection apparatus, has lenses or lens parts falling into at least two groups. The first group (3) is made of a first crystalline material and the second group (5) is made of a second crystalline material. In the first group (3), an outermost aperture ray (15) is subject to a first optical path difference between two mutually orthogonal states of linear polarization; and the same outermost aperture ray is subject to a second optical path difference in the second group (5). The two different crystalline materials are selected so that the first and second optical path difference approximately compensate each other. A suitable selection consists of calcium fluoride for the first and barium fluoride for the second crystalline material.
