description A droplet generator, for an EUV radiation source, comprises: a capillary in which, in use, molten material flows; an actuator configured to modulate a pressure inside the capillary; and a controller configured to drive the actuator at a driving frequency; wherein the droplet generator is arranged such that, in use, the driving frequency is equal or about equal to a main resonance frequency of the molten material in the capillary.
