Caption: Figure 4.

Fine-scale, multi-stranded, and multi-thermal substructures are detected within the coronal loop-leg and are presented here for the white dashed box region of Figure 3. The Hα line position of +0.1032 nm image (grayscale) is shown in panel (A) together with the near-simultaneous and co-spatial AIA 17.1 nm image. The coronal loop in 17.1 nm is contoured (solid red line) and overlaid in both images to compare with the Hα multi-threaded component of the loop. A white dashed diagonal slit and two pink boxed regions are extracted, and their normalized intensity profiles are plotted in panel (B) for comparison of both spectral lines. The data cross-cuts for Hα (solid curve) are overlaid with 17.1 nm (dotted curve). The blue solid lines presented the FWHM of the double-peaked 17.1 nm profile, and the green lines demarcate the locations of fine-scale strands that exist within the loop system.
