Abstract:
An NMR probe is provided that prevents homogeneity of the static magnetic field from being reduced in a sensitive area of an RF coil used for measuring an NMR signal. The RF coil is wound around a bobbin, and mounted on the NMR probe. In the NMR probe, a substance having a magnetic susceptibility of the same polarity as that of the RF coil is disposed on a surface of the bobbin which is not contacted by the RF coil. Alternatively, the bobbin is formed with grooves, and the RF coil is wound around the grooves. The bulk susceptibility of the bobbin or RF coil winding is adjusted such that the difference between the product of the depth of the groove and bulk susceptibility of the bobbin and the product of winding thickness and bulk susceptibility of the RF coil winding is 5 percent or less.
