Looks similar to an X-ray crystallography diffraction pattern, except that requires X-rays.

X-rays are just one frequency of light. You can use any.

Also you can use electrons to get electron crystallography which is (arguably) more powerful as you can reform the original image after, it requires WAY smaller crystals, can see lighter atoms, and more.

You could use neutrons as well
