    摘要: A magnetic recording medium includes: a substrate that is long in shape; and a magnetic layer containing magnetic powder and a binder. The glass transition point of the binder is not lower than 75° C. In a case where atomic force microscope observation images in a 10 μm×10 μm rectangular shape are acquired at five locations randomly selected from the surface on the side of the magnetic layer, any linear protrusion that is 3 nm to 20 nm in height, is 0.3 μm to 1.0 μm in width, and extends across two sides of the observation image does not exist in the observation images of four locations among the acquired observation images of the five locations.
