  • Connecting components of an optical imaging device
    Patent number: 12298674
    Abstract: An arrangement of a microlithographic imaging device includes a first component, a second component and a connection unit of a connection device. The connection unit is configured to cooperate with the first component in a connection region between the first and second components. The connection unit is configured to cooperate, in a mounted state, with a tensioning unit of the connection device in a tensioning direction. The tensioning unit cooperates with the second component to connect the first and second component to one another in the connection region. The connection unit includes a main body. The insert is inserted in a receiving cutout in the main body and connected to the main body to transfer forces in the tensioning direction. The insert is configured to cooperate with the tensioning unit to connect the first and second components to one another in the connection region.
