Abstract
This contribution introduces a new experiment for the investigation of magnetized complex plasmas. Its basic features are discussed and first experiments on free-falling dust particles are presented. By means of Langmuir probes and the resonance cone technique, the influence of dust particles on the free electron density is studied. With both methods, significant electron density reductions are observed.
