Simultaneous small‐angle scattering and wide‐angle diffraction using a synchrotron radiation microbeam was applied for the first time to investigate single carbon fibers in a position‐resolved way. Taking into account the exact X‐ray beam profile and examining the fibers in two scattering geometries allowed a discrimination between different models for the internal arrangement of carbon layers and pores. For a fiber based on polyacrylnitrile the carbon layers were randomly oriented within the fiber cross section, whereas in a mesophase‐pitch based fiber the layers were arranged in a radial structure.
