　Advanced imaging methods using electron microscopes are essential to elucidate more complex structures and phenomena. The figure on the right visualizes the magnetic domain structure using SEM. An interesting labyrinth-like structure can be seen on the sample surface. Ferromagnetic materials generally have such magnetic domain structures, but observation methods are limited. Our laboratory is working to improve such imaging methods and to use them to solve materials-related problems.
