ABSTRACT:
A magnetic flux microscope that measures the magnetic field about a sample surface. The apparatus uses a thin-film superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) as the scanning device. Magnetic shielding is provided about the SQUID and is held stationary relative to the SQUID. The apparatus and method provides a very high magnetic image of the sample with a very high spatial and field resolution.
