1. A lithographic projection apparatus arranged to project, using a projection system, a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate held by a substrate table, comprising:
a liquid supply system configured to provide a liquid to a space between the projection system and the substrate; and
a sensor mounted on the substrate table and configured to be exposed to electromagnetic radiation, the sensor including a surface that is to be in contact with liquid from the liquid supply system, the surface comprising no more than one metal type.
