Abstract
An environmental cell for use with a scanning probe microscope includes a cell chamber, a probe mounted to the cell chamber, a puck selectively connected to the cell chamber, a sample holder selectively inserted in the puck, and a translation mechanism coupled to the sample holder to move the sample holder. Gasses or liquids may be introduced to the environmental cell through channels formed in either the puck, sample holder, or cell chamber.
