Magneto-optical Kerr microscope
Kerr Microscope system is facility for the visualisation of magnetic domains and magnetization processes as well as for optically recording magnetization curves on all kinds of magnetic materials, including bulk specimens like sheets or ribbons, magnetic films and multilayers, patterned films or micro- and nanowires. They are semi-automatic, contact-less, non-destructive measuring systems using the magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) as contrast mechanism. Automatic off-axial light system allows for automatic and simultaneous visualization of all the components of magnetization vector. The microscope is equipped with rotable in-plane magnet with maximum field of 0.3 T with possibility of cooling, or a home made out-of-plane magnet with maximum field of 0.1 T (no magnet cooling available).
