An imaging plate was applied to the large‐volume press MAX80 for quantitative in‐situ X‐ray diffraction. A combination of the two‐dimensional detector with the uniform pressure and temperature environments of MAX80 and the wide energy range of synchrotron radiation resulted in high‐quality diffraction data. A modified cell assembly with a disc‐type heater was used to minimize extrinsic diffraction peaks from the surrounding materials. To demonstrate the high‐quality data obtained from the imaging‐plate system, the crystal structure of the high‐pressure and high‐temperature polymorph of the highly absorbing element bismuth (Bi IV) was determined.
