The magneto-optical Kerr effect, discovered by John Kerr in 1876 and named after him, describes the change in the properties of polarised light when reflected by a magnetic surface. This involves the rotation of the plane of polarisation on the one hand and the change in intensity of the polarised light on the other. This is illustrated in Fig. 2
Use of Kerr microscopy to characterise the development of damage in steels
The Kerr microscope used in the project is a two-in-one system. Fig. 1 therefore shows both the near-field microscopy with the corresponding non-magnetic Epiplan Neofluar objectives (20x0.5 Pol; 50x0.8 Pol; 100x1.3 Pol) and the arrangement of the far-field (Carl Zeiss Optic
