A Talbot–Lau X-ray Deflectometer (TXD) was implemented in the OMEGA EP laser facility to characterize the evolution of an irradiated foil ablation front by mapping electron densities >10²² cm^-3 by means of Moiré deflectometry. The experiment used a short-pulse laser (30–100 J, 10 ps) and a foil copper target as an x-ray backlighter source. In the first experimental tests performed to benchmark the diagnostic platform, grating survival was demonstrated and x-ray backlighter laser parameters that deliver Moiré images were described. Finally, the necessary modifications to accurately probe the ablation front through TXD using the EP-TXD diagnostic platform are discussed.
