The design, construction and operation of an in situ cell covering the temperature range from room temperature to 870 K with the sample in a controlled gas flow is demonstrated. The setup is designed specifically for acquiring small angle X‐ray scattering data at the JUSIFA beam line at the Hamburger Synchrotronstrahlungslabor although it can be employed at other beam lines with only slight modifications. The cell is used for studying dynamic changes in size and morphology of nano structured catalyst particles.
