Summary

In this chapter, we have seen the different tools that you will use and the different elements you will need to pay attention to when creating your laboratory.

A usually underestimated aspect of the lab is comfort—you will really spend a lot of time in there, so a good chair and a lot of natural light are quite important. I hope you will find all of these tips useful in the long run and that they will avoid you having to learn the hard way (like I did...I indeed spent money stupidly and burnt myself and shocked myself and hated my chair and... well pretty much did every possible mistake I speak about in this chapter...).

In the next chapter, you will learn how to approach a target system and harvest information about it.
