We have applied the technique of speckle masking to spectra. The observation of elongated solar structures avoids the problem of missing information in one-dimensional spectra. Image motion perpendicular to the slit was diminished by a one-dimensional image stabilization system. The remaining influence of the Earth's atmosphere was removed by a modified speckle-masking algorithm, adapted to the single spatial dimension occurring in the spectra. The reconstructed spectra achieve the diffraction limit of the telescope and the spectrograph. The first application of this technique to observations of spicules and penumbral filaments reveals more details and also yield line profiles which differ from those before reconstruction. The Hα emission in spicules shows line-of-sight velocities two times larger than in the unprocessed spectra. The non-magnetic line Fe 709.03 nm shows penumbral line widths, reflecting mostly the line asymmetry from the Evershed effect, which are tightly correlated to the continuum intensity fluctuations. Our reconstruction increases the coherence between both from 0.6 to 0.8.
