Magnetic Force Microscopy: Recent Advances and Applications

We review the principles of magnetic force microscopy and describe recent advances in imaging methods and probes. Some current applications of MFM in experimental micromag-netism and materials development are also discussed, as well as challenges in image interpretation and in using MFM for quantitative work.
