Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is an ideal characterization tool to explore nanoscale systems. In order to investigate nanostructural changes of materials under realistic sample environments, it is essential to equip SAXS with diverse in situ capabilities based on the corresponding requirements. In this paper, we highlight the representative experimental setups and corresponding applications of five widely used in situ capabilities: temperature, pressure, stretching, flow-through, and electric field. Additionally, we also briefly introduce other four in situ techniques including humidity, high-throughput, rheology, and magnetic field.
