The "network" refers to the bright cells seen in chromospheric lines like Ca-K, separated by the darker "internetwork". "Quiet", "enhanced", and "active" refer to the strength of the magnetic field, I think.

<p>For my research about the sun activity I need to process pictures of the sun. I want the pictures to show 3 stages the quiet, enhanced and active network. I couldn't find any information in the internet about how these 3 networks actually look and how they differ from each other. Can somebody explain this to me? What is showing on which picture? </p>

I'm not sure what you mean by "network" in this context, but on the [SOHO website](https://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/synoptic/sunspots_earth/), you can find pictures of the Sun for every day since 2006.
