Abstract
Since the scientific operation of Hinode started at the end of 2006 October, the Solar Optical Telescope onboard Hinode has provided unprecedentedly high-resolution and high-precision data on the magnetized solar photosphere and chromosphere. I review the achievements enabled by SOT observations in its first decade in terms of the Hinode’s scientific goals, such as understanding the formation and heating mechanism of the outer atmosphere and basic plasma processes such as magnetic reconnection occurring there.
