The structure of a setup and the results of experiments 
on obtaining carbon nanostructures with the use of a d.c. arc discharge 
between coaxial graphite electrodes have been presented. The discharge 
was stabilized by a magnetic field. The condensed carbon has been 
investigated by the method of atomic-force microscopy.
