The development of scanning magnetic microscope (SMM) without appreciable applied forces or magnetic excitations on specimens are presented. The magnetic microscope is intended to measure weak magnetic field distributions near the object surfaces of micron and sub-micron scales. Specifically, the SMM consists of three measurement units with respective output channels. The first channel includes a special fluxgate magnetometer as a field detector, and is designed for magnetic study of a specimen surface at room temperature (T(velence)300K), with a magnetic sensitivity of 10~(-9) T, at a spatial resolution of 10(mu)m in scan area of 10X10 mm. The second channel includes a HTSC SQUID and a ferromagnetic flux concentrator and is intended for detailed study of object at a room temperature with sensitivity of 10~(-12) T and 0.1-1 (mu)m resolution. The third component includes also the SQUID-concentrator combination, but is intended for detailed study of the object at liquid-nitrogen temperature (T(velence)77K), covering the area of 100X100 (mu)m~(2).
