There are only a few ways you can visually see the solar chromosphere.
The first and most spectacular view, is to stand in the shadow of the moon during a total solar eclipse.
A more convenient method is to use a Hyrdrogen-Alpha filter (which shows
a esquisitely red solar image)
that reveals the lower layers of our Sun's atmosphere.
