Provided. This image schematically shows the measurement principle. A flake of an atomically thin superconductor (shown in purple) on a substrate is patterned into a disk and covered by a spin-coated ionic gel. The pickup loop of the magnetic probe (shown in silver), with a concentric field coil (shown in dark gray) is approached to the sample. A current in the field coil produces a magnetic field, which results in an opposing screening current in the superconducting sample. The strength of the screening current is
