We select some highlights and new results that have been obtained from detailed “microscopic” observations of coronal loop structures with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) and Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EIT) instruments, including: (1) the inhomogeneous substructure of EUV loops, (2) the dynamic and non-hydrostatic nature, (3) the non-uniform heating, (4) the magnetic topology at the loop foot-points, (5) the magnetic energy budget for heating, and (6) oscillations and waves in coronal loops.
