Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lithographic apparatus, comprising: an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam; a patterning device (601) configured to impart the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam; a pellicle (602) configured to cover a surface of the patterning device (601); a substrate table configured to hold a substrate; a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of a substrate when the substrate is held by the substrate table, wherein the projection system comprises one or more optical elements; a first set of one or more outlets (603) for outputting a first fluid into a first region, wherein the first region abuts and/or comprises the pellicle (602); and a second set of one or more outlets (605) configured to output a second fluid into a second region that comprises the one or more optical elements of the projection system; and wherein the second fluid is different from the first fluid. Advantageously, the fluid in the first region protects the pellicle (602) from damage by the fluid in the second region. A pellicle that would otherwise be damaged by the fluid in the second region can therefore be used.
