    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus that includes a first reservoir system including a first fluid reservoir configured to be in fluid communication with a nozzle supply system during operation of the nozzle supply system, a second reservoir system including a second fluid reservoir configured to be, at least part of the time during operation of the nozzle supply system, in fluid communication with the first reservoir system, a priming system configured to produce a fluid target material from a solid matter, and a fluid control system fluidly connected to the priming system, the first reservoir system, the second reservoir system, and the nozzle supply system. The fluid control system is configured to, during operation of the nozzle supply system: isolate at least one fluid reservoir and the nozzle supply system from the priming system, and maintain a fluid flow path between at least one fluid reservoir and the nozzle supply system.

    Abstract: There is described a liquid metal supply assembly for use in an EUV light source, the assembly comprising: a) a first reservoir configured to hold liquid metal at a first temperature; b) a liquid metal transportation conduit in fluid communication with the first reservoir wherein the liquid metal transportation conduit is configured to be at a second temperature different to the first temperature; c) a temperature sensor configured to measure the temperature of the liquid metal transportation conduit to detect a flow of liquid from the first reservoir through the liquid metal transportation conduit via a change in temperature of the liquid metal transportation conduit. Also described is an EUV light source, a method of detecting flow of a liquid metal, as well as the use thereof.
