Soft X-ray images (0.3–10 keV) of the fields of 2PBC hard X-ray sources selected in this paper for optical spectroscopic follow-up. The object name is indicated in each panel. The BAT error circle is shown in blue and the new soft X-ray counterpart identifications for which the optical spectra were acquired are indicated with black arrows. In all cases, the objects selected as soft X-ray counterparts are the only ones with emission above 3 keV or with emission at 3σ considering the entire band of 0.3−10 keV. Field sizes are 20′× 20′. Nearly all images were extracted from the ASDC XRT database. In all cases, north is up and east to the left.
