This paper presents the physical characteristics of the z-pinch implosion plasma. Experiments were carried out on a small gas-puff z-pinch plasma device. A three-frame Mach-Zehnder interferometer was developed to measure implosion plasma. Some important physical parameters of plasma implosion process were obtained. At the same time, the soft x-ray energy spectra range from 0.2 {approx} 1.5 keV and the energy spectra of ion beam emitted from the z-pinch plasma were measured.
