Aims: To interpret the EUV spectra of the solar corona, one hopes for laboratory data of specific chemical elements obtained under coronal conditions. Methods: EUV spectra of He, C, N, O, F, Ne, S, Ar, Fe, and Ni in a 40 Å wide wavelength interval near ?304 were excited in an electron beam ion trap. Results: We observe some two hundred lines about half of which are not yet identified and included in spectral models. Conclusions: Our data provide a check on the atomic data bases underlying the spectral models that are used to interpret solar corona data. However, a multitude of mostly weak additional lines taken together represent a flux that is comparable to that of various primary lines.
