The solar-coronal complex is the only astrophysical system whose X-ray structure has to some degree been spatially resolved. The most important lesson that we have learned from these relatively high-resolution observations is that the corona is highly structured, comprising a variety of closed, loop-like regions of enhanced radiative output. Furthermore, coronal radiation loops are now known to be spatially coincident with magnetic loops which confine the radiating plasma.
