To provide an optical system having a satisfactory optical performance without being practically affected by double refraction even if an optical material, such as fluorite, having an intrinsic double refraction is used.
The optical system comprises a 5th group light transmitting member having a feature of practically transmitting light with a wavelength of ≤200 nm and being formed to have an optical axis aligned with a crystal axis [110] or a crystal axis practically optically equivalent to the crystal axis [110] and a 6th group light transmitting member having a feature of practically transmitting light with a wavelength ≤200 nm, and being formed to have an optical axis aligned with a crystal axis [110] or a crystal axis practically optically equivalent to the crystal axis [110]. The 5th group light transmitting member and the 6th group light transmitting member are so related in position as to be rotated about 90° from each other around the optical axis.
