Abstract
It is shown that scanning tunneling microscope with magnetic tip gives us a principle possibility to determine the direction of spins of surface magnetic ions with an atomic resolution. The tip should not necessarily be a ferromagnet. For instance, the tip can as well be an antiferromagnet with a magnetic structure of spin density wave type such as observed in chromium. The advantage of the antiferromagnetic tip is that it doesn't influence upon the studied surface via the magnetostatic field. The analogous consideration based on exchange interaction is possible to carry out for atomic force microscope with magnetic tip.
