Two-wave dynamical diffraction of an X-ray spherical wave in a crystal, when the wave passes through an object with a periodic amplitude transmission function, is considered. The behavior of the diffracted wave (spherical-wave Talbot effect) in the crystal is investigated. The Talbot effect inside the crystal is accompanied by the focusing effect and the pendulum effect. Peculiarities of the effect before the focus point, in the focusing plane and in the region after the focus point inside the crystal are revealed. An expression is found for the Talbot depth and the spherical-wave Talbot effect in these three regions is investigated. The spherical-wave dynamical diffraction Talbot effect in a crystal is compared with the classical spherical-wave Talbot effect and also with spherical-wave effects inside the crystal without a periodic object.
