Scanning magnetic microscopy has been an important field of research for obtaining magnetic properties of different materials and their applications in areas such as geology, medicine, science, and technology. In this study, a scanning magnetic microscope, capable of measuring and mapping samples with masses in the microgram range, was developed and calibrated at the Instrumentation Laboratory of the Physics Department of the PUC-Rio. This device was developed using a reading system based on a gradiometric configuration with two 300 um Hall-effect sensor elements. The microscope was separated from the sample surface by a distance of 143 um. The mappings can be performed under an applied magnetic field of up to 500 mT. The Hall microscope was improved by using a platform made of acrylic capable of reducing mechanical noise generated during the mapping, through a system of springs connected to linear actuators responsible for twodimensional scanning. A reading system with three low-cost printed circuit boards was also developed. The Hall microscope has a sensitivity of around 300 nTrms/(Hz)1/2 and was calibrated using a nickel sphere (99 percent pure). The magnetic moment sensitivity achieved was of the order of 10 −12Am2. All devices used for operating the microscope were controlled using the LabVIEW language. As an application example, cubes of iron oxide microparticles and magnetite magnetic nanoparticles were made using the alkaline coprecipitation method. The magnetic properties of these materials were obtained using the microscope developed in this study.
