Abstract
A nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus comprises an electromagnetic system in which a shield of a magnetic material is arranged about the coil system for the homogeneous magnetic field. By providing the magnetic material, for example soft iron, directly about the coil system, a comparatively compact magnet with an intensified, interference-insensitive homogeneous magnetic field is obtained. Instead of using a closed cylinder, use can alternatively be made of a cylinder which is formed by rods. The latter is notably attractive for shielding at a larger distance, the original field in the coil then being influenced to only a minor extent. A similar shielding can be obtained by means of a Helmholtz coil pair.
