Descripción
Physical processes in the Sun give rise to an ample variety of
structures on different spatial scales that in many cases are very
small, with sizes probably below the resolution limit of existing solar
telescopes (see Sánchez Almeida, 1997; Sánchez Almeida and
Bonet, 1997). Thus, the interpretation of solar phenomena requires the
study of these structures, and consequently high spatial resolution
observations are necessary to understand the physics of the Sun. These
observations must be complemented by an equally important
high-resolution spectroscopic analysis, including polarimetric
measurements to determine the magnetic field strength (magnetic fields
have a pervasive influence on the physical events in the Sun). However,
in the present study we shall concentrate on the first aspect of the
observational process, i.e. we shall describe some of the tools and
resources available for producing high spatial resolution images.
