contents Nanoscale structural and electronic heterogeneities are prevalent in condensed matter physics. Investigating these heterogeneities in three dimensions (3D) has become an important task for understanding their material properties. To provide a tool to unravel the connection between nanoscale heterogeneity and macroscopic emergent properties in magnetic materials, scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) is combined with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). A vector tomography algorithm has been developed to reconstruct the full 3D magnetic vector field without any prior assumptions or knowledge. 2D STXM projections of single crystalline \ndfeb\ pillars are recorded for two different sample tilt angles while rotating around the vertical tomographic axis using $120$ nm X-ray beams with left and right circular polarization. Image alignment and iterative registration has been implemented, based on the 2D STXM projections for the two tilts. Dichroic projections obtained from difference images are used for the tomographic reconstruction to obtain the 3D magnetization distribution at the nanoscale.
