Mega-ampere dense plasma foci and deuterium gas-puff z-pinches can accelerate deuterons to multi-MeV energies. Diagnostic measurements of the properties of these ions provide information about ion acceleration in z-pinch plasmas. In particular, the results from ion pinhole cameras seem to be useful for the discussion of ion acceleration mechanisms. Recently, we have used various configurations of ion pinhole cameras in deuterium gas-puff experiments on the GIT-12 and HAWK generators. The stack of radiochromic films and CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors recorded deuterons with energies up to 30 MeV. We obtained the spatial distribution of the ion source and the ion-beam divergence during the ion emission.
