Semiconductor detectors can provide measurements of the X-ray emission spectra from Z-pinch plasmas with spectral, time and spatial resolution simultaneously. PIN detectors working in the current regime (up to 1 A), fast enough (1 nsec rise time), and small enough (1 to 3 mm/sup 2/ active area) are suitable, provided the X-ray spectral resolution is achieved by some element external to the detector before the X-ray flux is reaching its sensitive area. Ross (or balanced) filters are especially useful for this X-ray filtration system. A Ross filter system was designed and built for the investigation of the Ne IX and Ne X line emission. The experiments were carried out on the moderate density and temperature Ne plasma (14 mm length and approximately
