Experimental magnetic scattering images obtained in the (qx, qy,1) plane around the (001) structural Bragg peak using the field-cooling protocol (B∥qx). The scattering contrast in a–c is associated with helical/conical, skyrmion, and conical and skyrmion ordering, respectively (at 45 K). In d, all phases, as well as higher-order skyrmion peaks, are present at the same time (at 35 K). The dashed white lines in d indicate boundaries to the integration region of the respective phases used for further analysis in Fig. 3.
