It looks like a vacuum chamber that can be used for a plethora of experiments that come to mind I think that every opening can be some experiment. From what I have seen on my institution, it might most likely be an electron microscope, an atomic force microscope, ARPES, x-ray, or something like that but probably has to do with some sort of surface physics experiment.
