Ch. 13. Cell Body and Sample Stage Guide Sec. 13.1. Cell Body Guide
The sealed environment around the sample and cantilever is formed by three components:
• The cantilever holder forms the lid.
• The cell body forms the sides.
• The sample stage forms the bottom.

and Ambient Sample Stage, disassembled.
(b) A fully sealed assembly.
Figure 13.1.: Ambient Stage
The various cell bodies are described in
Section 13.1 on page 148, the cantilever holders in Chapter 12
on page 141, and the samples stages in Section 13.2 on page 155.
The connection between cell body and sample stage is always the same mechanism and is described in
Section 13.3 on page 158.
The process of attaching the gas lines to the side of the cell body is described in
Section 13.4.4 on
page 168.

Gas
This cell is meant to
be used primarily for
gas environments as
it has electrical
feedthroughs.
However, it can also
be used in a droplet
environment.
