A photometric and colorimetric analysis of a color picture of the very inner solar corona, near the south polar region, is performed. Dimensions and average electron densities of both chromospheric and very finely resolved coronal spikes are deduced. For the coronal spike, a half width of 1.67 arcsec is measured; the estimate of electron density yields 10 billion per cu cm. Some conclusions are attempted in light of a simultaneously observed spectrum of the same region, which appeared to be a 'disappearing coronal hole'. The observations seem to support the concept of a 'striated' corona.
