On modern satellite observations of the Sun in the continuum with highspatial resolution, as well as on high-quality ground observations, a largenumber of small dark areas can be observed. These regions have no penumbra,have a contrast of up to 20% and are similar to solar pores. The characteristicarea of such structures is $0.3\div5\ \mu$hm or $0.5\div5$ Mm. The number ofsuch points in one image can be several hundred. The nature of such formationsremains unclear.  We have performed the selection of dark regions with a contrast of at least3% of the level of the quiet Sun on the SDO/HMI observational data in thecontinuum for 2010-2020. We have studied the properties of "dark points,including the change with the cycle of activity, area distribution andcontrast. We also compared such structures with the intensity of the magneticfield. We found that the number of dark dots with an area of less than 5 mhm,in which the magnetic field is not significant and is less than |B|<30 G, isfrom 60 to 80% of the total number of structures of this size. This means thatthese objects are not associated with magnetic activity. The existence of suchstructures can significantly affect the calculations of the sunspot index,since they can be mistaken as pores.
