Mystery vacuum component

Post by Nick Babusis »

A labmate gave me this vacuum component in exchange for a pepperoni pizza (I think I got the better end of the deal), but I can't figure out what it is, and googling "vacuum component that looks like this" is not very helpful. It has a cup with a small heating element in the bottom and some kind of bearing or rotatable flange on the top.
Can anyone identify it?

A source for an electron microscope maybe?
