Coil shapes superimposed on an image of a target shot

Various coil designs have been utilized in experiments with magnetized ICF targets using the magnetic field generator MIFEDS. Shown are four different coil shapes, ranging in size from 6 to 16 mm, superimposed on an image of a target shot (OMEGA S/N 59300) which utilized one of these coils. Inside the target chamber, the shot image measures about 0.9 m across.
