A lithographic projection apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a radiation system for providing a beam of radiation, and a support for supporting a patterning device. The patterning device serves to pattern the beam of radiation according to a desired pattern. The apparatus also includes a substrate table for holding a substrate, a projection system for projecting the patterned beam of radiation onto a target portion of the substrate, and a particle supply unit for supplying getter particles into the beam of radiation in order to act as a getter for contamination particles in the beam of radiation. The getter particles have a diameter of at least about 1 nm.
