Abstract
Difficulties and uncertainties are discussed concerning the calibration of the response of a solar vector magnetograph (linear and circular polarization degrees) in terms of field strength H and angle of inclination to the line of sight ψ using the theory of line formation in magnetic fields (Unno, 1956).
