The targets used in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are plastic capsules roughly 0.5 mm in diameter. The capsules, which typically have wall thicknesses from 20 to 60 p, must possess extraordinary symmetry and concentricity and must have surface finishes of less than 1000 A peak-to-valley variation over surface contours of from 10 to 1...
