Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alignment system for a lithography projecting apparatus in which accuracy of positioning and/or robust properties is improved.SOLUTION: An alignment system for a lithographic apparatus comprises: a positioning radiation source 1; a detection system having a first detector channel and a second detector channel; and a position determining unit that communicates with the detection system. The position determining unit processes information from the first and second detector channels in combination, and determines a position of a positioning mark on a first object relative to a reference position on a second object, based on the combined information.
