The new third‐generation synchrotron radiation source PETRA III located at the Deutsches Elektronen‐Synchrotron DESY in Hamburg, Germany, has been operational since the second half of 2009. PETRA III is designed to deliver hard X‐ray beams with very high brilliance. As one of the first beamlines of PETRA III the high‐resolution diffraction beamline P08 is fully operational. P08 is specialized in X‐ray scattering and diffraction experiments on solids and liquids where extreme high resolution in reciprocal space is required. The resolving power results in the high‐quality PETRA III beam and unique optical elements such as a large‐offset monochromator and beryllium lens changers. A high‐precision six‐circle diffractometer for solid samples and a specially designed liquid diffractometer are installed in the experimental hutch. Regular users have been accepted since summer 2010.
