EDS is very easy yeah, I've done Auger spectroscopy it's very simple to do but the interpretation can be tough at times, it's surface-sensitive so mainly used in surface physics/science

FIB is great too, you can cut samples very precisely with this

Yeah, my grad lab had an XRR/XRD, XPS, Auger, LEEDS, AFM, Ellipsometry and a few other instruments. For SEM and TEM we had a cost center on campus that had everything. We almost never had to go off campus for instrumentation.
