We have measured the strong x-ray emission of compressed neon gas fill in glass microballoons, irradiated by a four-beam laser system. X-ray pinhold imaging and spatially resolved x-ray spectroscopy lead to estimates of the compressed-gas temperature and the compression of the glass shell. We find that the product of glass shell thickness and density at maximum compression is less than 2.5×{}10^-3 g/cm². This is consistent with a degraded compression of the so-called "explosive-pusher mode."
