Scientific paper

Recent advances in polarimetry allowing the recording of polarized line profiles with high spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio over large portions of the solar spectrum offer rich new diagnostic possibilities. Thus one can now in a systematic way build models of the height variation of the magnetic field, temperature, density, and mass motions in the spatially unresolved subarcsecond magnetic structures. The analysis of the Stokes spectra also allows to build a foundation for proper diagnostics of vector magnetic fields, a goal that cannot be achieved before the intrinsic properties of the spatially unresolved magnetic fields have been determined. This review describes these developments, most of which have taken place in the 1980s, and summarizes the results obtained so far.
