It shows the MFM data from remanence (0�T) towards saturation (0.6�T) and back to remanence (0�T) together with the hysteresis loop, which has been reconstructed from the evaluation of individual Barkhausen jumps. The cycle consists of 158 MFM images recorded with 5 or 10�mT per frame corresponding to a ramp rate of (Formula presented) and (Formula presented), respectively.
