The Crystal Ball/TAPS detector setup provides a hermetic photon and hadron calorimeter for the tagged photon facility at the Mainz Microtron accelerator MAMI. High intensity, polarised photon beams of up to 1.5 GeV are used to study photoinduced reactions on nucleons and nuclei. In this article, an overview of the apparatus and selected recent results is given.

PACS numbers: 29.40.Vj, 29.85.Ca
