Polarization tunability and analysis of X‐rays is one of the most advancing features of third‐generation synchrotron radiation sources. In order to apply such developments to the observation of magnetic effects, a diffractometer for X‐ray magnetic absorption and scattering experiments was constructed on BL39XU at SPring‐8. The efficiency of the apparatus is clearly demonstrated by several observations of the magnetic effects. In particular, a diamond phase plate plays an essential role in regulating both circular and linear polarization states.
