The magnetic field imaging on microscopic scale is of great importance to fundamental research as well industrial applications. Here the authors show the capability to visualize and characterize the magnetic properties with 100-micrometer resolution in macroscopic samples using a cold polarized neutron beam in neutron grating interferometry.
