    Notes: There is a great advantage in signal to noise ratio (S/N) that can be obtained in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on very small samples (having spatial dimensions ∼100 μm or less) if one employs NMR "micro" receiver coils, "microcoils," which are of similarly small dimensions. The gains in S/N could enable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) microscopy with spatial resolution of ∼1–2 μm, much better than currently available. Such MRI microscopy however requires very strong (〉10 T/m), rapidly switchable triaxial magnetic field gradients. Here, we report the design and construction of such a triaxial gradient system, producing gradients substantially greater than 15 T/m in all three directions, x, y, and z (and as high as 50 T/m for the x direction). The gradients are switchable within time ∼10 μs and adequately uniform (within 5% over a volume of [600μm3] for microcoil MRI of small samples. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the design and testing of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microcoil receiver apparatus, employing solenoidal microreceiver coils of dimensions of tens to hundreds of microns, using applied field of 9 T (proton resonance frequency 383 MHz). For the smallest receiver coils we attain sensitivity sufficient to observe proton NMR with signal to noise (S/N) one in a single scan applied to a ∼10 μm3 (10 fl) water sample, containing 7×1011 total proton spins. We also test the dependence of the S/N on important coil parameters, including coil composition and resistivity, turn spacing, and lead lengths. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Microcoil nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), using receiver coils of diameters of order 100 μm, is increasingly employed to observe very small (∼0.3 nl) samples with high sensitivity. However, many experimental aspects of microcoil NMR differ greatly from conventional NMR. In particular, the duplexer is a device used to switch between the transmit and receive phases of the experiment. The conventional duplexer is a passive device employing crossed diodes, that switch automatically to transmit mode when high rf power is present. In microcoil NMR, however, the transmitter power is necessarily quite low, with voltages that do not greatly exceed characteristic diode voltage drops. Here we present the complete design and construction methods for a duplexer well suited to the special demands of microcoil NMR. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
