We describe the design of the Canadian Macromolecular Crystallography Facility 08ID-1 protein crystallography beamline that is being built at the Canadian Light Source. An in-vacuum small gap undulator will illuminate the beamline providing high X-ray brilliance and beam properties available at the Canadian Light Source that will allow studying small crystals (>20μm) and crystals with large cell dimensions (<1000Å). The planned automation of the beamline will allow for its remote usage.
