Summary form only given. Construction of the West Virginia University (WVU) Large Experiment on Instabilities and Anisotropies (LEIA) is now complete. LEIA is designed to investigate a wide variety of high beta, space relevant plasma phenomena. Of particular interest are electromagnetic instabilities driven by the free energy associated with non-isotropic ion distributions, i.e., different parallel and perpendicular ion temperatures. These instabilities occur at plasma betas (P=87tkTIB2) of order unity and ion temperature anisotropies, perpendicular divided by parallel, over the range 0.25 to 4.0. The plasma for LEIA is generated with a steady-state helicon plasma source.
