The application of a two‐dimensional micro‐pixel gas chamber (µ‐PIC) to X‐ray diffraction studies, and its performance, are reported. µ‐PIC has a 10 cm × 10 cm detection area, and a fast‐readout system for real‐time X‐ray imaging has been developed. Using the timing of each incoming X‐ray measured by µ‐PIC, continuous rotation photograph measurements were carried out for a 400 µm‐diameter spherical organic crystal of Ylid (C 11 H 10 O 2 S), and then diffraction spots were successfully obtained within 2θ of 49°. As a result, good internal agreement factors of 3.7% and 7.0% were confirmed among each of the symmetrically equivalent reflections for exposure times of 3700 s and 98 s, respectively.
