This study represents the first quantitative analysis of the multithread structure of coronal loops. We analyzed a set of 234 fine loop threads observed with TRACE triple-filter images at wavelengths of 171, 195, and 284 angstrom. The cross-sectional flux profiles are simultaneously forward fitted in all three filters with the superposition of a cospatial Gaussian and linear background functions. We fit a general multitemperature differential emission measure (DEM) distribution to each cross section, aswell as the special case of a single-temperature or isothermal DEM. We perform these forward fits at approximate to 18,000 loop positions and find that this geometric model could be fitted in approximate to 3500 cases (within a chi red
