A progress report on recent experiments in the WEGA stellarator is given dedicated to diagnostic development – especially for the 0.5 T operation of 28 GHz ECR heated plasmas – and magnetic field line visualization experiments in the vacuum field. Furthermore, results from transport and turbulence studies in the plasma edge and first measurements inside magnetic islands are presented with the help of 1D and 2D Langmuir probe arrays. Additionally, the prototype installation of the Wendelstein 7‐X control system is under continuous tests and further development at WEGA (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
