Abstract
The spatially resolved broad-band spectroscopy with Very Long Baseline
Interferometry (VLBI) is one of the few methods that can probe the
physical conditions inside blazar jets. We report on measurements of the
magnetic field strength in parsec-scale radio structures of selected
bright Fermi blazars, based on fitting the synchrotron spectrum to VLBA
images made at seven frequencies in a 4.6 -- 43.2 GHz range. Upper
