The empirically derived properties of magnetic flux tubes at both ends of the size spectrum, i.e. magnetic elements and sunspots, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on quantitative results. The following parameters are discussed in greater detail: The strength and structure of the magnetic field, the temperature stratification and the structure of the velocity field.
