The availability of intense femtosecond x-ray laser pulses from FELs has made it possible to visualize the structure and dynamics of nanosystems via single-shot diffractive imaging. It has been demonstrated that such experiments can be conducted on single free clusters to measure their size as well as their three-dimensional shape and orientation [1]. To model the corresponding diffraction patterns we use a microscopic model based on the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) [2]. We introduce a complex scaling DDA (CSDDA) and study single-shot x-ray diffraction patterns from non-spherical, absorbing nanotargets in the limit of linear response [3]. We employed the method to the scattering by icosahedral silver clusters and compare the scattering pattern for soft and hard x-ray radiation. Our results confirm that 3D structure information is only accessible for long wavelength, i. e. with soft x-ray pulses, but remains visible even for attosecond pulse durations for which the interference fringes vanish.
