ABSTRACT:
A local magnetic susceptibility unit is adapted to measure the AC magnetic susceptibility of a surface region of a sample. The unit comprises a sensing element and one or more balancing elements arranged in a circuit. When a sample is placed proximate to the sensing element the sample induces an imbalance voltage in the circuit.
