The materials science beamline (BL2) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) can provide monochromatic or white radiation in the energy range from 7 to 100 keV. The source is a multipole wiggler with a maximum critical energy of 29 keV, producing a radiant power of up to 5 kW. The main optical elements are an adaptive mirror, a monochromator with a liquid nitrogen cooled first crystal followed by a sagittally bent second crystal, and a second mirror including a bender for vertical focusing. The general layout as well as the performance of the beamline optics during the commissioning phase of the ESRF are presented.
