We designed and constructed a new type of high T_c SQUID microscope head. The sapphire rod is directly cooled with the liquid nitrogen which passes through a liquid nitrogen tank made of glass fibre reinforced plastic. A bellows free simple structure is realized with mutually screwed inner and outer enclosures for separation adjustment between a SQUID and a window. A sample can be as close to the SQUID as less than 1 mm. We demonstrated the performance of this SQUID microscope by the measurement of a magnetic field from a 70 µm diameter magnetized iron particle compared with the result of a lift-off distance of 5 mm. The measured magnetic field was increased 50-fold and the detection ability was enhanced drastically.
