Abstract
In this paper we present three techniques which provide improved permanent ferromagnetic‐particle images of domain structures. A normal field, supplied by flexible permanent magnet strip, is used for all three. The first method employs a pigmented strippable coating which is peeled from the specimen after drying. The result is a high‐resolution mirror image of the domain structure; the method can be used to study parts of large specimens nondestructively. In the second method, the coating is examined while still in place; its contrast can be increased by adding more white pigment and by painting the specimen white before application. The third method uses noncolloidal Fe3O4 powder in artist’s matte medium to provide domain images, on a white‐painted specimen, with higher contrast but lower resolution.
