TJ-II plasma observed from a tangential port at 17.5 kHz sampling rate, with a lithium filter and image intensifier. In the field of view, the two most prominent areas of plasma-wall interaction can be seen:  the poloidal limiter (lower) and the hardcore (helical limiter). As the plasma transits form ECH to NBI plasmas, the interaction level diminishes and becomes predominantly centered in the limiter. <ref name="Carralero"></ref> From the lithium emission fluctuations  information on the electron density fluctuations can be gained. <ref name="delaCal"></ref>

First insertion of the poloidal limiter after a lithiation of the vacuum vessel. Tangential observation, 15 kHz sampling rate. The ejection of lithium flakes from the carbon surface can be seen clearly at the beginning of the discharge. At the end of the video, as the plasma becomes colder, the flakes penetrate deeper into it until they float freely in the post-discharge plasmoid.
