APOLLO 14 AS 14 67-9369.jpgAS 14-67-9369 - Cold Cathode Ion Gauge and Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment91 visiteOriginal caption:"117:20:27 MT. This photo shows the Cold Cathode Ion Gauge (CCIG) and the Suprathermal Ion Detection Experiment (SIDE). The SIDE is the large box while the CCIG is the smaller instrument next to it. There is a great deal of dirt on the north face of the SIDE.
Because this face receives little direct sunlight, the dirt will have little effect on the internal temperature of the instrument.
Dirt on the East or West faces and on the top would increase the amount of sunlight that the instrument would absorb during the course of a Lunar Day and, therefore, would lead to a higher than optimal internal temperature".

APOLLO 14 AS 14 67-9371 HR.jpgAS 14-67-9371 - Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment - HR72 visiteOriginal caption:"117:21:31 MT. Close-up of the Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE).
This is one of the few ALSEP documentation photos taken during all of Apollo that shows a "level bubble" with any clarity. It is a large bubble, being about half the diameter of the dome that contains it.
Note that there is some dirt on the top of the SIDE, although not covering a large percentage of the surface".
