An exposure apparatus (PE1) and exposure method for use in photolithographically manufacturing devices such as semiconductor devices, image pickup devices, liquid crystal display devices and thin film magnetic heads. The apparatus is capable of transferring onto a substrate (W) the image of a pattern on a reticle (R) and includes a light source (2) capable of supplying an exposure energy beam (IL) with a wavelength under 200 nm, and an illumination optical system arranged to receive the exposure energy beam from said light source. The illumination optical system is designed to guide the exposure energy beam to the reticle. The apparatus also includes a projection optical system (PL) arranged between the reticle and the substrate. The projection optical system is capable of forming an image of the reticle pattern onto the substrate based on the exposure energy beam passing through the reticle. The projection optical system has a plurality of refractive optical members, wherein at least two such refractive optical members are arranged along an optical path of said exposure energy beam, and wherein each refractive optical member is made of at least two types of fluoride crystalline materials.
