This talk presented the magnetic confinement experiments from a different angle, i.e. as laboratory sources which allow the study of various problems in such fields as atomic physics and astrophysics.

Tokamak and magnetic mirror plasmas have properties which make them particularly suitable for basic atomic physics experiments; they are stable over long intervals of time and have wide ranges of electrom densities and temperatures. Also, models on which electron density and temperature diagnostics are based in astrophysical research can be checked since these quantities are accurately measured by independent non-spectroscopic methods.
