Definition
Magnetic force microscope (MFM) is for
observation and measurement of stray
magnetic field distribution by detecting small
magnetic force or its force gradient using a
fine magnetic probe based on an atomic force
microscope (AFM).
Introduction
The principles of operation of magnetic force microscopy is that
it maps magneto static forces across the surface of a sample.

Modes of operation
Static (DC) mode
Static mode refers to measurements of the cantilever deflection.
