The Yohkoh payload includes a Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) which is capable of taking high-resolution (2.5 arcsec) images of the Sun through several X-ray and optical filters. A Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) camera provides images with a low background, and large dynamic range and at a rapid cadence (greater than 2 s), which enables the SXT to observe the effects of flares while continuing to observe the fainter quiet-Sun features. We present the observations from the SXT that illustrate how the faint coronal loops that make up the complex structure of the quiet Sun evolve on a variety of timescales from seconds to months. We describe a variety of coronal structures, such as coronal holes, bright points, the large-scale quiet coronal loops, and active regions, to show the wide range of opportunities that Yohkoh presents to further our understanding of the solar corona.
