Abstract:
The present invention provides a low-noise MEG apparatus of high sensitivity. A MEG apparatus using a magnetic shield of high critical temperature superconductor is set on the floor of a building via mechanical vibration suppressor supports to prevent appearance of noise signals. Also, the apparatus is equipped with means for preventing any relative displacement between the SQUID magnetic sensors and the magnetic shield of high critical temperature superconductor, thereby not letting an inevitable mechanical vibration of least strength produce any variable components of the trapped static magnetic field, which the SQUID magnetic sensors could be sensitive to.
