The IMCA‐CAT bending‐magnet beamline was upgraded with a collimating mirror in order to achieve the energy resolution required to conduct high‐quality multi‐ and single‐wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD/SAD) experiments without sacrificing beamline flux throughput. Following the upgrade, the ben...
