Illustration of the correlation between the magnetic dichotomy and the solar granulation. Masking of the continuum brightness has been used to isolate the dark intergranular lanes and the bright cell interiors. If the fields were intrinsically weak (below a few hundred G) the points would fall along a regression line with the slope of the dashed line, as they do in the bright granules. The much smaller slope for the intergranular lanes is evidence that the magnetic flux there is in strong-field, collapsed form.
