The construction and performance of a neutron Weissenberg camera for temperatures down to 4 K is described. Exposure times are similar to the X‐ray case. The background from the cryostat walls can be eliminated. Examples of applications in the fields of magnetic structures which are incommensurate with their chemical unit cells, crystallographic phase transitions and diffuse scattering are presented.
