Abstrakt: The observation of magnetic domains by magneto-optical microscopy, based on the Kerr and the Faraday effect, is one of the most prominent techniques for the visualization of distributions of magnetization within magnetic materials. The method has gained increased attention due to the possibility to visualize field and current induced phenomena in nanostructured magnetic materials on fast time-scales. Fundamental concepts and recent advances in methodology are discussed in order to provide guidance on the usage of wide-field magneto-optical microscopy in applied magnetism. Recent applications of magneto-optical microscopy in bulk and thin film materials are reviewed at the end. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
