Abstract
We have measured tunneling spectra of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta while observ ing the Cu-O plane STM image at T = 6 K. The low-temperature spectra a re consistent with a superconducting gap with line nodes along the dir ections of 45 degrees from the Cu-O bond directions, possibly a d(x2-y 2) gap.
