A new single‐crystal mounting technique for high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction up to 1700 K on an imaging plate scanner has been developed. The crystal is clamped mechanically by three to six very thin alumina fibres. Besides the cheap and easy manufacturing procedure, its major advantage is the resultant very low background; it consists mainly of weak, smooth Debye–Scherrer rings which can be easily removed by image‐processing methods.
