A simple pressure cell is described that may be used to bind xenon to protein crystals freely suspended in thin films which may then be flash‐cooled, thus immobilizing the bound xenon. As an example, the use of the cell in the structure determination of perchloric‐acid‐soluble protein, by the multiple isomorphous replacement method, is described.
