	1198 × 898 324 KB JPEG	Montage showing the components of a Superconducting Cable-In-Conduit for ITER. IGC-AS strand shown.
	304 × 418 40 KB JPEG	A fracture cross-section of a partially reacted Nb3Sn filament (TWC MJR strand).*
	588 × 831 132 KB JPEG	A fracture cross-section of a partially reacted Nb3Sn filament (TWC MJR strand). This one has labels.*
	393 × 796 150 KB JPEG	Golden Ears of Nb3Sn Corn (TWC MJR strand). TFS indicates transverse fracture surface of filament LVS indicates longitudinal void surface of filament.* [False-color]
	424 × 608 128 KB JPEG	Golden Ears of Nb3Sn Corn II (IGC-AS Internal Sn ITER strand). Occasionally the fracture-cross-section process pulls out a filament and exposes the surface facets of the outermost Nb3Sn grains.† [False-color]
	812 × 599 290 KB JPEG	Filaments in strand produced for the ITER CS model coil by Vacuumschmelze using the bronze process. The filaments have been revealed for grain size analysis by fracturing the strand. Each filament is 1/20 the thickness of a human hair.† [False-color]
	480 × 613 289 KB JPEG	3-D Nb3Sn filament! (IGC-AS Internal Sn ITER strand). Occasionally the fracture-cross-section process pulls out a filament and exposes the surface facets of the outermost Nb3Sn grains.† [3-D anaglyph image While you have your 3-D glasses on check out the hi-res Mars Pathfinder images by Dr. Timothy Parker, JPL
