Conventionally magnetic films and structures are fabricated on flat surfaces. The topology of curved surfaces has only recently started to be explored and leads to new fundamental physics and applied device ideas. Advancing in this field calls for the understanding of the magnetic responses of thin films on curved surfaces. Here, two basic geometries, i.e. hemi-spherical [1,2] and tubular [3-5], will be addressed. To enable the microscopic characterization of 3D architectures, we put forth the concept of magnetic soft x-ray tomography. This concept will be introduced and the angle- and layer-resolved imaging of 3D shaped tubular architectures [4,5] will be presented.
