Investigations of fast dynamic processes with the help of synchrotron radiation allow an understanding of the properties of short‐lifetime states of materials at very high temperatures and pressures. Detectors for such studies have to be able to detect X‐ray photons from each electron bunch separately with a position resolution of about 0.1 mm. A prototype of a detector (DIMEX) for the imaging of explosions at a synchrotron radiation beam is described here. A spatial resolution of 300 µm and a time resolution of 100 ns is demonstrated with a synchrotron radiation beam from the VEPP‐3 2 T wiggler at an electron beam energy of 2 GeV. Results of the first projective imaging and SAXS experiments are presented.
