Abstract
Defects in the multi-dimensional macroscopic quantum field of the 3He superfluids are localized objects with a topological charge and are topologically stable. They include point-like objects, vortex lines, planar domainwall-like structures, and 3-dimensional textures, which may or may not include singular points or lines. An inventory of illustrations is presented which concisely lists the different experimentally confirmed defect structures in the A and B phases of superfluid 3He.
