Abstract
An assembly for use in subsurface drilling includes a downhole probe supported by a locking mechanism with a bore of a drill string section. The probe comprises a first spider and a second spider at the uphole and downhole sections of the probe. The locking mechanism secures the probes in the bore against axial and rotational movement relative the drill string section.

A downhole assembly comprising:
- a drill string section having a bore extending longitudinally through the drill string section;
- a downhole probe located in the bore of the section;
- the probe supported in the bore by first and second spiders spaced apart longitudinally within the bore, at least one of the first and second spiders abutting a landing step in a wall of the bore.
A downhole assembly comprising:
- a drill string section having a bore extending longitudinally through the drill string section;
- a downhole probe located in the bore of the section;
- the probe supported in the bore by first and second supports spaced apart longitudinally within the bore, each of the first and second supports holding the downhole probe against axial movement in the bore.
