Coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) of single particles in free flight enables studying the structural composition of fragile nano-scaled matter. Such experiments demand high-intensity extreme ultraviolet or X-ray light pulses, until recently only achievable at large-scale free-electron laser (FEL) facilities. We have demonstrated [1] that high harmonic generation (HHG) sources can be used for single-shot single-particle CDI with great prospects for time-resolved experiments due to high stability and extremely short pulse durations. Here we report on the first time-resolved CDI measurements using a HHG laser system on helium nanodroplets in an IR pump - XUV probe scheme. We obtained bright multicolor diffraction patterns in a setup that allowed for few femtoseconds time-resolution. First results of the ongoing analysis will be presented and discussed.
