We present a description of a plasma-chemical facility designed for synthesis of micro- and nanoparticles using the radiation of a high-power gyrotron. The facility has been developed at the Plasma Physics Division of A.M.Prokhorov General Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The facility includes a plasma-chemical reactor, a gyrotron unit, an in-line calorimeter, a diagnostic system, which ensures video and spectroscopic measurements, balance measurements of the microwave radiation, and thermal imagery measurements, a chemical unit for specimen preparation and analysis of synthesis products, an electronic logging unit, and a specimen labeling system for organization and storage of a large amount of experimental data and specimens.
