This technical report presents an overview of sample environments which are usable at the PETRA III Swedish Materials Science beamline (potentially requiring arrangement or development of the beamline layout). Alongside the description of each sample environment, illustrative materials science studies are presented that exemplify the use of these sample environments for in situ and/or in operando measurements.  The sample environments are catalogued according to the research application areas, which are categorised as Thermal treatments, Electrochemistry, Catalysis, Thin films, Mechanical response of materials and Levitation. Such cataloguing means that researchers can now start their search for relevant sample environments by looking up a relevant research application area. Citations and links to specifications, published research cases and the organisation that is responsible for a given sample environment, are also provided as a basis for researchers to proceed with their research planning.
