Measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron bound in hydrogen*like ions with spinless nuclei have proven to be highly sensitive tests of corresponding calculations based on bound-*state quantum electrodynamics (BS-QED). Measurements performed on 12C5+ [1] and 16O7+ [2] together with bound-*state QED calculations on the same level of accuracy have achieved sensitivities around 0.25% of the calculated bound-state contributions to the g-*factors of these ions. Currently, a similar experiment on hydrogen*like calcium 40Ca19+, lithiumlike calcium 40Ca17+ and other systems is prepared [3], which is in principle capable of increasing the sensistivity of this bound-state QED test by more than one order of magnitude. To that end, several novel experimental techniques have been developed. A motivation as well as experimental requirements and techniques for such a measurement are presented and the possible benefits will be discussed.
