The British Crystallographic Association: In situ Diffraction. Diffraction experiments are generally performed using samples prepared well in advance and brought to the diffractometer for measurement. However, there are many circumstances where this cannot be done, for example, where the sample is only formed for a short time in a reactive environment an interactive method is required where the formation or transformation of the sample takes place on the diffractometer itself. This method is known as in situ diffraction. See also here.
