Abstract: An image transfer system configured with an image transmission apparatus, an image transfer apparatus and the image saving apparatus. The image transmission apparatus transmits image data recorded in a storage medium to the image transfer apparatus. The image transfer apparatus receives the image data, records the image data into a first storage device and transfers the image data to the image saving apparatus in response to a request issued from the image saving apparatus. The image saving apparatus receives the image data and records the image data into a second storage device. The image saving apparatus includes: the second storage device; a communication unit; a recording control unit for controlling read/write of management information; a request receiving unit from a user; a decision-making unit as to whether or not target image data are recorded; an image requesting unit for the target image data; and an image recording unit.

Abstract: The exposure apparatus comprises a mark plate on which a plurality of types of measurement marks each used for self-measurement are formed, a reticle stage on which the mark plate is mounted, and an aerial image measurement unit. On a slit plate of the aerial image measurement unit, a slit is formed extending in the non-scanning direction which width in the measurement direction is equal to and under (wavelength &lgr;/numerical aperture N.A of the projection optical system). Therefore, in a state where a predetermined pattern is illuminated with the illumination light to form an aerial image of the pattern via the projection optical system, and when the slit plate is scanned in the measurement direction with respect to the aerial image, the light having passed through the slit during the scanning is photo-electrically converted with the photoelectric conversion element.
