It is suggested that the principal fine-structure elements of the solar photosphere are the facular granules and the dark lanes between the ordinary granules, and that these structures are basically in radiative equilibrium. An approximate solution to the one-dimensional problem of radiative transfer in an inhomogeneous medium is obtained in general form. Particular solutions describing the photospheric fine-structure elements are found. The dark intergranular lanes may represent gas 2-3 times as dense situated at an optical depth of tau equal to 0.3; the facular granules would then represent a similar condensation but in layers at tau not greater than 0.05.
