 | AS14-67-9362 This photo is a close-up of the top of the Passive Seismic Experiment (PSE) and shows the gnomon/handle - resembling a cricket wicket - and the level bubble housing. A thermal skirt surrounds the seismometer. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |

|
 | AS14-67-9369 117:20:27 This photo shows the Cold Cathode Ion Gauge (CCIG) and the Suprathermal Ion Detection Experiment (SIDE). The SIDE is the large box while the CCIG is the smaller instrument next to it. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |
|
 | AS14-67-9370 117:20:27 Similar to 9369. Note that Ed managed to get the CCIG to sit on the surface in the desired orientation, despite the set in the cable connecting it to the SIDE. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |
|
 | AS14-67-9371 117:21:31 Close-up of the Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE). This is one of the few ALSEP documentation photos taken during all of Apollo that shows a level bubble with any clarity. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |
|
 | AS14-67-9372 117:21:37 Al took this "locator" photo of the SIDE/CCIG toward the Central Station, which is northwest of the instruments. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |
|
 | AS14-67-9373 117:21:37 View of the SIDE/CCIG from the south. This photograph shows that there has been a substantial design change in the SIDE configuration since Apollo 12. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |
|
 | AS14-67-9374 117:24:33 Al took this shot from near the MET, looking southeast along the geophone line toward Ed, who is working his way back, stopping every 15 feet to operate the thumper. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |
|
 | AS14-67-9375 117:24:33 View toward the north of the RTG and the CPLEE. The Central Station is at the left edge of the picture. Image credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. |
