Abstract
An NMR probe comprising an RF resonatorserves in a first mode for conventional sensitivity optimized studies of abundant samples at frequency ω, and in a second mode for independent sensitivity optimized studies of micro sample quantities at frequency ωthrough use of a removably insertable self-resonant micro-coilwithin the RF resonatorand closely surrounding a micro sample, that is preferably independently removably insertable within the micro-coil. The NMR probe exhibits an enhanced tuning range to resonate in its first mode and in the second mode to inductively couple to the self-resonant micro-coilto induce self-resonance of the micro-coilat ω.
