The present invention relates to an imaging method and device for nuclear magnetic resonance. On the one hand, the method provides an image coding by means of an additional field which has, for each point of a two-dimensional grating surface within the sample, a different field strength value that occurs only once, as is the case, e.g., in fields based on fractal, surface-filling and space-filling curves. On the other hand, the read-out of the resonance behavior of a sample along a space-filling and/or surface-filling curve can be provided. In the first variant, a magnetic resonance (MR) image with a single high-frequency excitation without a time-varying gradient can be recorded, which in turn advantageously prevents the sound generation associated therewith. In the second variant, the sounds generated during read-out are advantageously shifted to another frequency range in which the human hearing is less sensitive. Furthermore, the device is relieved and the technical requirements with regard to it are reduced. In addition, it can be executed with known and existing devices.

The invention relates to a magnetic flow sensor () comprising a) a loop-shaped magnetic field conductor comprising a point () which expands to form a bar or a film (), a loop-shaped part () and at least one part () which guides back the magnetic field lines of the probe, b) SQUID (), c) and a diaphragm () comprising a hole (), whereby the part (&#x2033;) which guides the magnetic field lines of the probe back to the loop-shaped magnetic field conductor is connected to the diaphragm ().

A method for assigning a pulse profile, in particular a pulse profile of a scintillation detector having at least two scintillation materials with different decay characteristics, to one of a plurality of pulse types with differing decay times, encompasses the method steps of: acquiring an output pulse profile and converting the pulse profile into an electrical signal whose amplitude-time profile represents the pulse profile of the output pulse; transforming the amplitude-time profile into the frequency space in order to obtain an amplitude-frequency profile representing the output pulse; normalizing the amplitude-frequency profile in order to obtain a normalized amplitude-frequency profile; comparing the normalized amplitude-frequency profile with a predetermined reference profile; and assigning the output pulse profile to one of the pulse types on the basis of the result of the comparison.

A tomography device, particularly for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), comprises a multi-pinhole collimator and a detector for detecting gamma quanta or photons that penetrate the multi-pinhole collimator. In a tomographic method using the device, the distance between the object and the multi-pinhole collimator is selected to be smaller than the distance between the multi-pinhole collimator and the surface of the detector.

The invention relates to a polarizer for noble gases comprising a glass sample cell and a pressure chanter in which the sample cell is located. High pressure and accompanying broadband or narrow-band lasers can be similarly provided in an optimal manner. To this end, the polarizer is operated at pressures of 30 bar and higher.

In order to measure magnetic characteristics of a sample, the latter is positioned above the SQUID so that both the SQUID and the sample are supported in a vessel in a gaseous nitrogen space above a liquid nitrogen coolant so that the measurement can take place at ambient pressure and in a nitrogen atmosphere.
