A new channel-cut monochromator system has improved the beam quality and stability, with current vibration amplitudes under 1% of the beam size. Two sets of refractive beryllium lenses have been installed for focussing the beam. One of the sets allows to microfocus the beam size. Besides this, the former SAXS CCD detector has been replaced by a single-photon counting pixel detector, a Piltatus3 S 1M. In the end station, a full re-design of the mechanical elements with sub-micron resolution movements together with the installation of new equipment has been completed, resulting in an improved beamline configuration, and a faster and safer rearrangement of the flight tube length. New upgraded configuration also allows for GISAXS experiments. Finally, other auxiliary improvements have been done in areas like radiation protection, air conditioning, health and safety, cable management, electronics and control.
