Abstract

A catadioptrical projection lens, which produces an image in an image plane of a model, arranged in an object plane, by generation of a real intermediate image, has a catadioptrical first objective piece, a concave mirror and a beam diverter device between the object plane and the image plane and, beyond the beam diverter device, a dioptrical second objective piece. The beam diverter device has a preferably fully-reflective first mirror surface, for diverting the radiation arriving from the object plane onto the concave mirror. In an optically close region to the object plane, in which the height of the main beam of the radiation emanating from the object is greater than the height of the boundary beam, a positive refractive element is arranged behind the first mirror surface, between the above and the concave mirror. An object-side, telecentric projection lens may thus be produced with relatively small lens dimensions and easily corrected with moderate requirements for the coating of the mirror surfaces.
