An ultrahigh vacuum chamber can be used in undergraduate physical chemistry laboratories to expose students to surface science which is an important research field. This chamber allows students to perform hands-on surface morphology, reaction mechanism, kinetic and adsorbate characterization experiments using standard techniques. Suggested uses for the chamber's auger spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction and temperature-programmed desorption abilities in student laboratories are included.
