Expectations in lateral resolution and quantitative measuring results
in material development are permanently growing. The interest is focus
ed on microstructure characterization, on detection of micro failures
as well as on the evaluation of the distribution of mechanical propert
ies such as residual stress or hardness. These requirements meet with
the development of high resolution nondestructive methods such as the
Barkhausen Noise and Eddy current Microscopy.
