A process chamber for processing or inspecting a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer and the like includes a internal chamber employing dynamic seals at the interface of relatively moving elements. In one embodiment, the internal chamber has a first element, such as a lid or cover, and a second element, such as the body of the chamber. The first element and the second element meet at the interface. The internal chamber may further include a substrate support, mounted inside the internal chamber, supporting a substrate. A first movement system may produce at least one type of relative movement between the first element and the second element. A second movement system may produce second relative movement between the second element and the substrate support. The resulting structure allows movement of the chamber, while maintaining pressure inside the chamber.
