Abstract
A scanning magneto-resistive microscope was developed that allows for high resolution imaging of magnetic tapes and digital media. By using second harmonic detection to remove thermal anomalies we are able to image sufficient lengths of tape for authentication purposes and for data recovery from damaged samples. This allows for high contrast images and direct conversion of the scanned information into originally recorded analog audio waveforms or digital data.Proceedings Title
