An imager and method for imaging fluid of a subsurface formation is disclosed. The imager includes a housing having a sidewall defining a passage to receive a core sample of the subsurface formation therethrough. The housing is positioned in a downhole tool and has a fluid inlet to receive fluid from the subsurface formation into the passage. The imager also includes a permanent magnet positioned in the sidewall of the housing, a radio frequency coil positioned in the sidewall of the housing between the permanent magnet and the passage, a gradient field in the sidewall of the housing between the permanent magnet and the radio frequency coil, and a chemically-selective imager. The chemically-selective imager is operatively connected to the radio frequency coil to selectively pulse frequencies according to a pulse sequence whereby individual fluid measurements of the sample are generated.
