Nowadays the Einstein Tower is equipped with a double spectrograph and two photoelectric polarization analyzers which allow to determine the spatial distribution of the magnetic field vector and its gradient. In order to get data with the highest spatial resolution, the experiences and methods worked out in Potsdam are brought into action at the German vacuum solar telescopes in the Spanish Observatorio del Teide at Tenerife. A participation in satellite experiments renders accessible special data which are not within reach from ground-based observatories. Due to its location in central Europe the Einstein Tower attains an average spatial resolution of 3'' only. Analogous to the analyses of the magnetic field our theoretical results from modelling oscillations are faced with the observed data in order to deduce new questions to be answered by observations, that is to propose new experiments.
