Scientific paper

Intensity contrasts and number densities of bright points, knots, and pores ranging in size from 0.15 to 4 arcsec are studied using high-resolution pictures in Mg b1 of a young solar active region. On the average, the contrast in the wing of the line increases very strongly with decreasing size, while the continuum contrast increases more slowly. The ratio of contrast in the line to contrast in the continuum increases rapidly with decreasing size. The possibility of using this contrast ratio as a size indicator is discussed. The distribution of the contrast ratio in part of the active region is used to derive a size distribution of faculae points.
