Abstract
The Foucault method, one of the classical Lorentz microscopy techniques, is here investigated in order to demonstrate its applicability to in-focus observations of superconducting fluxons. As the deflections involved are of the order of 10(-5)-10(-6) rad, low-angle techniques, high brightness, coherent illumination, and a low aberration magnetic stage are needed. The first experimental results are presented and discussed in relation with a theoretical model for the fluxon which allows the interpretation of the main features of the observed patterns.
