Short summary
We explored a new method to improve Micromagnetic Tomography (MMT), a technique to study the magnetic signal stored in rocks. Precise co-registration of MMT datasets is crucial but challenging, so we tested the use of micro-sized marker structures. These markers help with sample orientation during measurements, speed up data processing, and improve precision. This offers benefits for MMT and other geoscience research requiring precise sample positioning and dataset co-registration.
