Abstract:
A nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus probe comprising:a solenoid coil that is located in a homogeneous magnetic field area at substantially a center of a static magnetic field generating apparatus of the nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus, said solenoid coil being capable of, when energized, generating an RF magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the static magnetic field generated by the static magnetic field generating apparatus; and one or more saddle type coils that are capable of, when energize, generating magnetic fields in directions perpendicular to the direction of the static magnetic field generated by the static magnetic field generating apparatus and to the direction of the RF magnetic field generated by the solenoid coil, said saddle type coils are disposed opposite each other around an outer periphery of said solenoid coil, said saddle type coils are used essentially exclusively for irradiation of an RF pulse magnetic field and said solenoid coil is used essentially exclusively for reception of a free induction decay signal (FID signal).
