Abstract :
A new detection system, installed on a scanning transmission microscope, enables operation of the microscope in a variety of modes revealing microscopic and magnetic structure and dynamic magnetic phenomena at high spatial and temporal resolution. Experimental observations of magnetic systems including granular Co/Ag, Co and multilayer Fe/Mo thin films are discussed
