We report detailed calculations of the profiles of energy and action densities in the quark-antiquark string in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We conclude that at a {ital q}-{ital q}{vert_bar} separation {ital R}{approx_equal}1.0 fm we are beginning to see the asymptotic flux tube. By employing the Michael sum rules we further conclude that the peak energy density approaches a constant in {ital R}. {copyright} {ital 1995 The American Physical Society.}
