We present a new design of a Scanning Reflection X-ray Microscope (SRXM) based on zone plate imaging in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectral range at the DELTA beamline 12 optimized for the 3p absorption edges of 3d transition metals. The operation in reflection mode will allow magnetic domain imaging in buried layers exploiting magneto-optical reflection spectroscopy employing T-MOKE, L-MOKE, XMLD and XMCD [1] as magnetic contrast mechanisms. In contrast to transmission, the STXM geometry will allow the study of buried layers, layer systems and interfaces on surfaces even of thick samples. The advantage of the EUV spectral range over the soft X-ray range is the increased reflectance which is about two orders of magnitude larger than at the 2p edges. [1] M. Tesch, M. Gilbert, H - Ch.
