The use of a spectrophotometric apparatus to obtain instantaneous two-dimensional images of the solar disk with which to monitor solar oscillations of period approximately 5 minutes is discussed. The system used consists of a selective filter mounted in a spectrograph, which is capable of imaging a 400 x 400 arcsec area with a temporal resolution of 1.45 sec and a seeing-limited spatial resolution. The two-dimensional system has the advantages of a lack of disalignment effects and ease of solar tracking over the 5-min oscillation period with respect to conventional one-dimensional spectrophotometric methods. The system has been used to record oscillations in Na emission over the course of three hours.
