It is demonstrated how femtosecond plasma X‐ray sources can be used to record X‐ray diffraction images with many simultaneous reflections. A convergent‐beam geometry was implemented and tested with a crystal of a small molecule [Fe‐py 3 (tren)] as well as with a crystal of the protein lysozyme. The results pave the way for femtosecond X‐ray crystallography.
