The APEX electron source at LBNL combines the high-repetition-rate with the high beam brigthness typical of photo-guns, delivering low emittance electron pulses at MHz frequency. Proving the high beam quality of the beam is an essential step for the success of the experiment, opening the doors of the high average power to brightness-hungry applications as X-Ray FELs, MHz ultrafast electron diffraction etc. As first step, a full 6D characterization of the beam is foreseen at the Gun beam energy of 750 keV. Diagnostics for low and high current measurements have been installed and tested, and measurements of cathode lifetime and thermal emittance in a RF environment are currently being commissioned. The recently installed double slit system will allow the measurements of beam emittance at full current (mA). Also a deflecting cavity and a high precision spectrometer are foreseen at low energy, allowing the exploration of the longitudinal phase space. Here we discuss the present layout of the machine and future upgrades, showing the latest results at low and high repetition rate, together with the tools and techniques used.
