Solar radio emission at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths originates in the chromosphere and transition region and is a useful probe for the temperature and density in these regions. High spatial resolution observations of the quiet sun provide valuable information on the structure of the solar atmosphere. We have performed high resolution (~ 6″ (E-W) x 15″ (N-S)) observations at 6 cm with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in June 1976 in order to search for the radio analog of the supergranulation network and to study the extent and symmetry of limb brightening. The use of the WSRT for high spatial resolution solar mapping has been described by Bregman and Felli (1976), Kundu et al. (1977), and others.
