Patent ID: 11079457

Abstract:
A microwave resonator for an electron paramagnetic resonance probehead comprises a cavity body supporting an electromagnetic microwave resonance mode, at least one sample opening for inserting a sample in a sample container, at least one microwave opening for transmitting microwave radiation into the resonator, and at least one access opening for inserting and removing a modifier in a modifier vessel into or out of the cavity body. The modifier vessel is fixed in the at least one access opening, the modifier is a fluid comprising attenuator fluid and/or marker fluid and/or adaptor fluid, and the modifier vessel has an insert opening for filling and discharging the modifier gradually into or out of the cavity body. This improves performance greatly, enabling a gradual modification of specific experimental conditions without moving any mechanical parts in the cavity body, and without changing other experimental conditions for Q- and/or M- and/or D-variation.
