An optical diagnostic instrument developed for the acquisition of high-speed time-resolved images has been fielded at the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The instrument was developed for the creation of time histories of electron-beam cross-section through the collection of Cerenkov light. This is accomplished through four optical lines of sight that optically collapse an image, an optical fiber relay, recording instruments, and a tomographic reconstruction algorithm. The instrument may be operated, adjusted, and calibrated remotely due to potential adverse environmental conditions. The instrument was operated over the course of various activities during and after DARHT commissioning, and tomographic reconstructions reported verifiable beam characteristics. Results from the collected data and reconstructions and analysis of the data are discussed.
