                                    A new method to measure the magnetic field strength of small-scale solar
magnetic concentrations is presented. It is based on the center of
gravity method (Semel, 1967), is independent of radiative transfer
calculations and only observable parameters are needed. This method also
provides parameters like filling factor (area fraction occupied by the
tubes), continuum intensity contrast between flux tubes and their
surroundings, in a two-component model scheme. The method is applied to
spectropolarimetric high spatial resolution data. Local variations of
the above parameters inside single faculae are found. This result
suggests some indications about flux tube evolution. A comparison with
low spatial resolution results is also made.
