    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of highly precisely adjusting a measuring optical system of a lithographic apparatus. SOLUTION: In the lithographic apparatus, a substrate table constituted to hold a substrate is movable to transfer the substrate between a substrate measuring position and a substrate processing position. The lithographic apparatus also includes a measuring system constituted to measure at least one aspect or a characteristic of the substrate when the substrate table holds the substrate in the measuring position. The measuring system is constituted to guide at least one measuring beam and/or a field toward the front surface of the substrate. A projection system is constituted to project a patterned radiation beam onto the target of the substrate when the substrate table holds the substrate in the substrate processing position. An adjusting system is constituted to supply adjusting fluid to at least a part of the path of the measuring beam and/or the field of the measuring system to adjust the part of the path.
