The 18ID undulator beamline of the Biophysics Collaborative Access Team at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, IL, USA, is a high‐performance instrument designed for, and dedicated to, the study of partially ordered and disordered biological materials using the techniques of small‐angle X‐ray scattering, fiber diffraction, and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. The beamline and associated instrumentation are described in detail and examples of the representative experimental results are presented.
