The scanning SQUID microscope (SSM) is a powerful tool for imaging mag-netic fields above sample surfaces. It has the advantage of high sensitivity and bandwidth and the disadvantages of relatively modest spatial resolution and the requirement of a cooled SQUID sensor. We describe the various implementa-tions of this type of instrument and discuss a number of applications, including magnetic imaging of short circuits in integrated circuits, corrosion currents in aluminum, and trapped flux in superconductors. © 1999, by Annual Reviews, http://www.AnnualReviews.org
