In this review I discuss the application of scanning magnetic imaging to fundamental studies of superconductors, concentrating on three scanning magnetic microscopies - scanning SQUID microscopy (SSM), scanning Hall bar microscopy (SHM), and magnetic force microscopy (MFM). I briefly discuss the history, sensitivity, spatial resolution, invasiveness, and potential future developments of each technique. I then discuss a selection of applications of these microscopies.
