The dynamic magnetic properties of micron-sized permalloy disks have been investigated using magnetic resonance force microscopy. From local spectroscopy data, information about the global sample properties is obtained. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions, which account for magnetostatic modes with quantized in-plane wave vector. Ferromagnetic resonance spectral features due to the permalloy dots in close proximity to the micromagnetic probe tip provide two-dimensional images of the sample.
