  • Patent number: 7656595
    Abstract: A arrangement serves for the adjustment of an optical element (1), in particular of a lens in an optical system, in particular in a projection lens system for semiconductor lithography. The optical element (1) is mounted in a mount (3) by means of a number of bearing feet (2) distributed over the circumference of the optical element (1) and is selectively deformable by actuators (5). At least some of the bearing feet (2) are engaged by the actuators (5) in a region of the respective bearing foot (2) in such a way that the respective bearing foot (2) can be displaced in the direction of the optical axis (7).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6369959
    Abstract: An assembly comprising an optical element and a mount has a fastening flange 2, an intermediate element 3 in at least approximately the form of a funnel and an inner ring 4. The optical element 1 is mounted in the inner ring 4, which is connected to the fastening flange 2 via the intermediate element 3. The intermediate element 3 is connected on the side with the smaller diameter to the inner ring 4 and on the side with the greater diameter to the fastening flange 2.
