Abstract

An exposure apparatus where a mask table having an exposing pattern and a work to be exposed are relative to each other movable, wherein the moving amount of the mask table is detected by a scale image formed through a projection lens system, so that even if the projection lens system has a magnification error, by optically offsetting it, the moving amount of the mask table can be detected. Thus, a more accurate control can be obtained so that a mask image can be more precisely reproduced on a work.
