The source is located at the cell 2 of the storage ring. Two undulators U21.4  and one U35 provide high photon flux with a low divergence. Only the central radiation cone of the undulator is used. Unless otherwise stated, all beam sizes correspond to FWHM values. The beamline optics consist of a cryogenic (liquid nitrogen) cooled Si-111 channel-cut monochromator and a double mirror focusing setup. The standard beam size is 50 µm x 120 µm (vertical and horizontal, respectively) with divergence of 5 µrad x 10 µrad. The beamline is optimised for experiments using a fixed wavelength around 0.1 nm (12.2 keV), but a wavelength range between 0.073 nm and 0.16 nm is accessible. The maximum photon flux at the sample position is of the order of  5 x 1013 photons/sec/100 mA with Δλ/λ = 0.015 % at 12.2 keV.
