Conclusions High-precision Stokes-meter observations of the Sun with low spatial resolution (LSR) are still scientifically important. Quasi-simultaneous observations of the Sun-as-a-star and LSMF can be used (WHEN !???...) for testing of stellar mapping codes. Multi-line observations of the Sun with LSR clearly show manifestation of the kG magnetic elements. CLV variations of the MSR and lines asymmetry show a good agreement only for the near disk center arears. New experimental data and theoretical modelling are necessary

Comparison of STOP SSO observations processed in “magnetograph”(left panel}and “Stokes-meter” (right panel) modes. We see one percent of polarization corresponds to ≈ 25 G.
