The development of nonlinear optical microscopy based on Magnetization induced Second Harmonic Generation is demonstrated with magnetic garnet films taken as an example. A nontrivial modulated domain structure is shown to exist in a (210) oriented film, along with the possibility to study the magnetization component in the film plane directly and with a strong contrast.
