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.

LEED is great too, it's also very simple and I believe it's the most important surface analysis technique historically
In France public labs don't have much budget so you have to always find tips to reuse materials etc.
I've visited the ESRF at Grenoble, and compared to the nearby CNRS lab, they have like everything and a very good budget but that's normal, ESRF is a collaboration between several countries and one of the largest scientific facilities in the world
