Soft X ray transmission microscopy with circularly polarized photons tuned at specific resonant energies allows to image magnetic textures by exploiting the dichroic absorption contrast which depends on the angle of the magnetization and X ray beam. Changing their relative orientations allows determining the orientation of the magnetization of the sample [1]. We have recently developed 3D magnetic reconstruction tomography [2] which allows to reconstruct the magnetization at ~ 30 nm resolution and to localize magnetic singularities in thin films (thickness up to ~300 nm) . These results will be illustrated in a permalloy/NdCo/permalloy trilayer where magnetic bifurcations at the top and bottom permalloy layers are clearly separated. Our method is well suited for identifiying buried magnetic features in multilayers.
