Two novel three-dimensional (3D) diagnostics, stereoscopic imaging and digital holography, enable us to provide a critical comparison of experimental results with simulations and theory and thus to gain a detailed insight into the structural and dynamical properties of strongly coupled dust clouds. Special attention is paid to the influence of screening and the role of metastable states in dust clouds containing just a very few particles.
