A new X-ray camera is described in which the sample can be cooled extremely fast to liquid-nitrogen temperature. Moreover, the cooled sample can then be warmed to defined examination temperatures either stepwise or continuously. By this it is possible to study solidification processes, phase transformations, recrystallization phenomena and similar processes. The application of the camera is illustrated by a diffraction pattern of a biological specimen.
