The aim of the present communication is to draw attention to the value of simultaneous observations of sunspot umbrae and the quiet Sun in selected molecular lines. It is felt that such observations may lead to an array of sunspot models which account for sunspot sizes, magnetic field strengths, and the solar activity cycle.
