Time and radially resolved vacuum-ultraviolet spectra from an argon gas-puff Z pinch have been obtained using a grazing incidence spectrometer with gated microchannel plates curved to the Rowland circle. Most of the 50--300-A radiation is emitted from a dense core (rroughly-equal0.4 mm, n/sub e/> or approx. =10/sup 19/ cm/sup -3/, T/sub e/roughly-equal150 eV) which forms when the plasma assembles on the axis.
