The Z-pinch discharge in nitrogen has been studied by means of a high-speed framing camera. Pressure dependence of pre-pinch striations and electrode effects is reported. Development of Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities after the first pinch is verified, and the dispersion relationship is evaluated for the fastest growing m = 0 mode at a pressure of 100 μ Hg.
