Abstract
A lithographic apparatus comprises a beam modifying apparatus mounted in the path of a beam of radiation. The beam modifying apparatus comprises a conduit configured to allow the flow of a fluid through it, the conduit being arranged such that, in use, the beam of radiation passes through the conduit and the fluid flowing through it. The beam modifying apparatus further comprises a heat exchanger in thermal communication with a portion of the conduit located upstream, having regard to the direction of the fluid flow, of the location at which the beam of radiation passes through the conduit.
