A new construction of a high temperature set-up for small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements on corrosive and volatile fluid systems is presented. The sample cell from single crystal sapphire is sealed with a special metal wire technique. The cell with the surrounding high temperature furnace is integrated in a homemade SAXS-spectrometer. This technique has been employed up to 1000°C for the example of SAXS-measurements on fluid KxKCl1-x solutions which are briefly discussed.
