Abstrakt

We present results from powerful new method to study the structure of

dense molecular clouds on an unprecedent column density range of 0.5

<AV <50 magnitudes (1021 <N <

1023 cm-2). The application of the method to

Barnard 68 leads to the discovery of the best example in nature of a

Bonnor-Ebert sphere.
