Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) probe-cutting of labyrinth domains into individual skyrmions. Single pass MFM images of W/CoFeB/MgO multilayer under an applied field of \(\sim\)10 mT before (left) and after (right) a topography scan of the central area (not show) with the tip magnetised against (a) or along (b) the external field. The topography scan was performed with the slow scan axis from bottom to top. The colour scale bar indicates the direction of the magnetisation in the sample
