I guess the word pinhole is misleading here, I think it's a few cm in diameter. Behind it there's an array of lenses that projects the view onto a fiber bundle, then a lens at the other end of the bundle projects that view out. That light goes through a beam splitter which shares it between our camera and another one in the shielding box.

Most imaging in fusion is done like this because of space constraints, magnetic fields, and neutron fluxes.
