β¦ Synopsis
The zero level problem of solar magnetographs is particularly important for observations of large-scale magnetic fields on the Sun. Experiments conducted at the STOP telescope of the Sayan observatory show that, in addition to adjustment errors of the polarization analyzer and the spectrograph focusing, spurious signals of the magnetograph are caused by polarization effects in optical components preceding the polarization analyzer and aberration errors of the spectrograph.

The Faraday rotation in the sunspot atmosphere is statistically detected by examining directions of the linear polarization obtained with the vector magnetograph of the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. It is very effective near the spectral line center and the azimuth of the linear polarization de
