An RF photocathode gun provides electron bunches of high coherence, sub-pC charge and energies of 2-5 MeV. In order to film time-resolved structural changes of excited specimens, bunch lengths of several femtoseconds need to be created. Taking into account these critical parameters, beam diagnostics at REGAE is very challenging. The existing diagnostics consists of energy, energy spread, beam profile, beam charge and emittance measurements. For transversal diagnostics, specific approaches have to be considered to overcome complications associated with the low charge and to carry out the beam diagnostics in single shot. In this paper, the contribution of the transversal diagnostics to the measurement of the transverse emittance is presented.
