A selective solar polarization filter (SSPF) permitted direct photography of the oscillations on the surface of the sun. The SSPF transmits the half-width of th 0.135 A to isolate the NaD1 spectral band. Material movements on the solar surface are then perceived in terms of intensity variations. An angular resolution of 1 arcsec is achieved at sites of about 450 km below the 5000 K temperature level of the photosphere. Sample images of oscillating cells from 4-22 thousand km across featuring material velocities of 220-1080 m/sec are provided. The oscillating modes are calculated to last 285 sec, within an error of 25 sec.
