A scanner for a scanning probe microscope (SPM) including a head has a scanner body that houses an actuator, and a sensor that detects scanner movement. The scanner body is removable from the head by hand and without the use of tools and has a total volume of less than about five (5) square inches. Provisions are made for insuring that movement of a probe device coupled to the scanner is restricted to be substantially only in the intended direction. A fundamental resonance frequency for the scanner can be greater than 10 kHz.
