An optical imaging arrangement includes an optical element unit, and an actuator device connected to the optical element unit and is configured to be connected to a support structure for supporting the optical unit. The actuator device is configured to: actively adjust, in an adjustment state, a position and/or an orientation of the optical unit with respect to the support structure in N degrees of freedom; and support the optical element unit in a statically overdetermined manner in at least one of the N degrees of freedom via a plurality of active first and second actuator components such that, in a holding state following the adjustment state, the first and second actuator components cause a parasitic residual load introduced into the optical element unit in the at least one of the N degrees of freedom.

An EUV imaging apparatus is provided, which includes a reference structure and a first optical element, which is actuatable relative to the reference structure with the aid of a first actuator. The first actuator is a self-holding actuator. The apparatus includes a second optical element, which is actuatable relative to the reference structure a second actuator. The second actuator is a non-self-holding actuator.
