Soft x-ray tomograms are inferred from experimental data obtained during the recent operational phases of the superconducting, optimized stellarator Wendelstein 7-X. It is shown that the reconstructed soft x-ray emission profiles of the plasma are consistent with the numerically calculated magneto-hydrodynamic equilibrium of Wendelstein 7-X. In order to obtain reliable tomograms, the full chain of electrical and geometrical influences on the x-ray observation has to be taken into account. This has been achieved by formulation and application of an extended forward model. The forward model has been verified using phantom data derived from surrogate tomograms.
