Solar Magnetometry with the dutch open telescope
The Dutch Open Telescope (DOT) has become op-
erational at the Roque de los Muchachos Observa-
tory on La Palma. The rst image sequences taken
with this innovative telescope demonstrate its capa-
bility for tomographic high-resolution imaging of the
magnetic topology of the solar atmosphere up to the
transition region over the large eld of view permit-
ted by consistent speckle restoration. We review the
science needs for such imaging and describe the DOT
solution to the problems posed by the earth atmo-
sphere and the solar physics niche lled by the DOT
