Observations with the Solar Optical Telescope on Hinode indicate that the Quiet Sun magnetic field occurs on every scale of convection including granulation. Data reported here show that, regardless of the position on the disk, the polarity in the inner network regions are balanced to 1 part in 72. This is consistent with both local dynamo processes or the creation of surface features by the granulation downflows.
