We present a Penning trap experiment dedicated to studies with atomic and molecular ions in extreme laser fields. Within this experiment, trap-specific manipulation techniques allow control over the stored particles' localization and spatial density on a high level. It is possible to select and prepare well-defined particle ensembles and to control the laser-particle interaction. Non-destructive detection of reaction products with up to single-ion sensitivity supports advanced studies by maintaining the products for further studies at confinement times of minutes and above. Of particular interest for intial studies are non-linear processes such as multiphoton ionization of atoms, singly-, and particularly highly-charged ions.
