The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) conditions and optimises high-brightness electron sources for the use at X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs). Since the lasing process occurs only on a fraction of the bunch, much smaller than the total bunch length, the slice emittance is of interest. To characterise the slice emittance, a measurement procedure was developed at PITZ, combining a single-slit scan with a transverse deflecting structure. The transportation of the beam at low energies of 20 MeV is complicated due to the high bunch charge and wide separation of the needed diagnostics devices. The slice emittance measurement setup, improving the beam transport, will be discussed. Also, problems arising from low signal-to-noise ratio during emittance measurements and possible solutions will be presented.
