Descripción
This paper presents high-resolution (0.6") spectropolarimetric
observations of very quiet solar regions. We make determinations of the
magnetic flux density, intrinsic field strength, and magnetic filling
factor in these regions. Our results confirm other previous works in
that most of the internetwork flux is in the form of intrinsically
strong fields. However, in contrast to other recent observations, we do
not find a significant increase in the amount of unsigned magnetic flux
relative to that measured at an angular resolution of 1", nor do we find
that most internetwork lanes are populated by strong flux. We discuss
possible causes for this disparity. The lack of additional flux with
increased resolution may be used to set constrains on the typical
spatial scales at which mixed polarities occur (smaller than ~=0.6").
