A simple design for a heatable, coolable, rotatable sample manipulator, suitable for ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) applications, is described. Highlights of the design include using a combination power/thermocouple feedthrough for heating, cooling, and temperature measurement; and the use of primarily ‘‘off‐the‐shelf’’ components available from most UHV components vendors. The described manipulator is capable of sample cooling to ∼100 K, sample heating to above 900 K, while maintaining 360° of rotary motion, ∼1 in. of x and y motion, and 2 in. of z motion. The apparatus can be assembled for approximately $5500 (all new parts) and uses about 3 3l of liquid N2 per day.
