The authors have developed a near-axis time-resolved x-ray imaging capability to make measurements of the emission profile for foam targets on the Z accelerator. By slit-imaging spectrally filtered x-ray emission from the z-pinch target to an array of scintillator coupled fiber-optics, they obtain an emission profile as a function of time sampling every 260 {micro}m viewing 4{degree} from the z axis. The plasma run in and reexpansion are observed. Implosion velocities, and compressed sizes for annular and foam targets have been measured. They describe the diagnostics, results from the instrument and instrument characterization.
