Abstract The diagnostic method proposed by Landi Degl'Innocenti and Landolfi (1982), based on the observation of circular polarization, has been generalized to derive the thermodynamic properties of unresolved magnetic elements in the solar atmosphere. The final aim is to derive the height dependence of several parameters of the flux tube atmosphere (such as temperature, magnetic field and velocity distributions, macroturbulence and filling factor). We have used a perturbation method based on the concept of response functions for the Stokes profiles introduced by Landi Degl'Innocenti and Landi Degl'Innocenti (1977). We present here the preliminary results of invertingV-profiles by an iterative standard least-squares technique, which allows to find the magnetic 1-D atmosphere consistent with simulated data.
