16. The spectra were constructed from a total of 960 images sampling 23 wavelengths in typical steps of 28 mÅ plus 480 wideband images. The images were processed with multi-object, multiframe blind deconvolution image restoration techniques (29, 30) to reduce the effects of residual aberrations in the images.

Additional figures and more detailed information about the straylight estimation and compensation, influence of molecular blends, the estimation of average radial and downflow velocities and circular polarization, and the correlation between intensities, velocities, and magnetic field inclinations are available as supporting material on Science Online.
