Inouye and Synthetic Image Comparison

Caption

Comparison of the Inouye Solar Telescope image (right) and synthetic image (left) produced using a state-of-the-art, physics-based simulation of the solar surface. The excellent agreement between the simulated and observed data has helped us understand the origin and formation of fine-scale structures in the photosphere.
