Abstract
Monochromatic images of the sun, photographically recorded with the spectroheliograph, reveal the phenomena of the solar atmosphere in projection against the disk. The light from a spectral line of calcium, hydrogen, or other substance is singled out by a narrow second slit, which moves across the plate while the first slit moves across the solar image. A monochromatic picture is thus built up of countless narrow slit images, recorded side by side in slow succession.
