It is shown that a space-charge-neutralized intense ion beam can be focused down to diameters of {~}10^-1 cm by injection into a magnetic mirror through the combined action of the magnetic field and nonadabatic radiative energy losses. These intense tightly focused beams may be important for the eventual ignition of thermonuclear microexplosions.
