A detailed description is presented of the Extreme Conditions Beamline P02.2 for micro X‐ray diffraction studies of matter at simultaneous high pressure and high/low temperatures at PETRA III, in Hamburg, Germany. This includes performance of the X‐ray optics and instrumental resolution as well as an overview of the different sample environments available for high‐pressure studies in the diamond anvil cell. Particularly emphasized are the high‐brilliance and high‐energy X‐ray diffraction capabilities of the beamline in conjunction with the use of fast area detectors to conduct time‐resolved compression studies in the millisecond time regime. Finally, the current capability of the Extreme Conditions Science Infrastructure to support high‐pressure research at the Extreme Conditions Beamline and other PETRA III beamlines is described.
