Abstract

A multiparameter magnetic imaging system and method to be used in the localized measurement of the magnetic properties of a material and the display of those properties in the form of a false color image indicating the occurrence of those properties across the surface of a sample specimen. The system includes an inspection probe to measure certain magnetic parameters across the surface of the specimen and means to determine a multiplicity of magnetic property values based on the measured data. The system also includes a visual display system which selectively displays the data relating to the determined magnetic properties in the form of a false color image indicating the presence and variation of these magnetic properties across the specimen surface.
