A scanning dynamically focusing sagittal X‐ray monochromator accepting 7 mrad of the fan from a 6 T wiggler is in routine use on beamline 16.5 (ultra‐dilute spectroscopy) of the SRS at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, UK. The energy range covered is 7–27 keV, with a horizontal spot size of <1.1 mm FWHM. Measured monochromatic flux from a Si 220 crystal pair is 1 × 10 11 photons s −1 (100 mA) −1 at 9 keV. This level of flux, usually associated with an insertion device on a third‐generation source, permits collection of EXAFS data on concentrations at or below 10 ppm.
