Abstract
Using polarizing light microscopy in reflected mode we have studied th e domain structure in single crystals of the high-Tc superconductor Bi 2Sr2CaCu2O8-delta. This structure mainly consists of a high density of {110} domain walls, however, we have observed, for the first time, th e so-called ''puzzle domains'' in BSCCO, domains which previously had been observed only in another high-Tc ceramic; Y1Ba2Cu3O7-delta.
