It occurs to me (as devil's advocate) that the stage of the microscope may be moving due to stress. Do you get similar movement if you touch the stage with your finger ?
Suggestion: It is possible to examine surface deformations with interferometry... of course I WOULD say that, wouldn't I ?? hehe.
I did further tests making sure the magnet and scope were mounted solid. I now have a better scope and will be replicating this experiment again soon. It seems somthing is going on here, when I did move the magnet by hand it did not look the same.
If you have a laser, I can teach you some basics in interferometry which you might find useful. I'd be interested to know what your further experimentation shows.
