Figure 1: The largest sunspot of AR10030 in the 488-nm image. The large box indicates the field-of-view of the PD-restored G-band image. The smaller boxes represent example subfields that are used for quantitative analysis. A-G: penumbra, K-M: quiet granulation, X-Z: active granulation. See also Fig. 2 and Table 2. |

Figure 9:
Log-log plots of noise-corrected G-band power spectra. Each
dot represents data for one of several partly overlapping penumbral
subfields selected from four of our best PD-restored frames (see
e.g., A-G in Fig. 2).
The solid line represents the running mean for all the subfields.
The long-dashed curve is calculated in the same way from the active
granulation subfields (e.g., X-Z). In total,
20 granular and 80 penumbral subfields were included. The DOT curve
was computed from the noise-filtered data of S01. The
shortest-dashed curve represents a fit to the results of SAB98 -
its position along the vertical axis is arbitrary. |

Figure 10: PD MTFs. a) One of the four MTFs estimated with PD corresponding to the subfield in Fig. 7a (circle indicates diffraction limit). b) Squared sector averaged MTFs for the four focused images in the PD data used to make the image in Fig. 7a. Diffraction-limited MTF2 plotted as a reference. The spatial frequency coordinate is normalized to the diffraction-limited frequency at 430 nm. |
