The design and construction of a NMR microscopy probe.
The design and construction of a probe for proton NMR microimaging studies of small objects, in particular single cells less than 1 mm in diameter, at 8.5 T is described. The probe incorporates a novel RF assembly and novel semishielded quadrupolar gradient coils. The design criteria are discussed and some preliminary results presented.
