Description
実施例1は、高感度の核磁気共鳴装置を実現するために、静磁場を水平方向に印加し、水平方向に棒状に延伸したプローブを用いるものである。プローブの先端に超電導薄膜コイルからなる受信用プローブコイルを備えている。実施例1は、このプローブコイルの構成に関するものである。
次に、本発明の実施例2を説明する。実施例2は、核磁気共鳴装置の全体構成は、実施例1と同じ図3の構成であり、図3における受信用プローブコイル11の構成が実施例1と異なる点を除けば、同じ構成である。図5(a),(b)は、実施例2のプローブコイル2の構成を模式的に示す側面図および平面図である。ただし、平面図では、構成を分かりやすくするために、超電導薄膜リング111を形成したサファイア基板261、および、これより上にあるサファイア基板263,265を取り除いた形で示す。
次に、本発明の実施例3を説明する。実施例3は、核磁気共鳴装置の全体構成は、実施例1と同じ図3の構成であるが、プローブコイル2が2つの核種の計測に対応できる構成とされた点において実施例1とは異なる。図6(a),(b)は、実施例3のプローブコイル2の構成を模式的に示す側面図および平面図である。ただし、平面図では、構成を分かりやすくするために、超電導薄膜リング11を形成したサファイア基板を無視した形で示す。
実施例4では、実施例1で説明した受信用プローブコイルの実装のための構造の概念を図7、図8を参照して説明する。
