The x-ray camera techniques developed in laser fusion have been applied to view tokamak discharges in 1--3-keV light. The camera consists of an image intensifier fluor combination viewing the plasma tangentially through a pinhole. The resultant image is optically coupled to a standard CCD television camera for remote viewing. The first intensifier is gated so that the camera produces a sequence of photos every 16 ms of variable frame duration from 16 ms to 10 ..mu..s.
