PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scanning probe microscope which can prevent frost from adhering to the surface of a sample. SOLUTION: When the surrounding is viewed out from the sample 9 in the state of the figure, only a cooling cover 27 which is cooled can be observed except the part of a cutout 28 for introducing cantilever. When a sample holder 10 is mounted on a cooling holder 7, most of water molecules which make rectilinear movement around the sample are trapped by the cooling cover 27. As a result, frost will not adhere to the surface of the sample unlike in the conventional cases, and the precise image on the surface of the sample can be observed by using a cantilever.
