The article gives a general overview of instrumentation commonly used in electron paramagnetic resonance. It includes magnet systems, microwave bridge configurations, and sample cryostats. A special focus has been placed on the discussion of various resonator and sample probe designs used in CW as well as pulsed EPR. Specialized EPR applications such as very high frequency EPR, electrochemistry, stopped flow, and the application to volume limited samples are briefly discussed.
