To obtain improved maps of the coronal electron density distribution, an iterative technique in which an approximation of the unknown distribution is successively modified to reduce discrepancies with the original data is used to map the corona to a much finer resolution than shown in the previous papers, without greatly increasing the computational cost. The series representation of density may now contain more than 23,000 terms, compared with previous limit of 128. This results in a fourfold increase in linear resolution, so that features about a tenth of a solar radius in width are now separated. The iteration algorithm can be adjusted to apply a mathematically 'optimal' correction to a given approximation of the density. Although this correction minimizes noise levels, a cheaper version of the algorithm yields a better result.
