Clusters of galaxies are the largest and most massive systems in the Universe. Most baryonic matter in such systems is in a form of very hot, X-ray emitting gas. Such gas is almost fully ionized, has very low density and is weakly magnetized. The large sizes of the clusters make them unique laboratories to probe plasma properties on microscales. These properties are largely unknown, however, are important for understanding many astrophysical phenomena and their numerical modeling.
