Inside an NMR Magnet
NMR Equipment The workstation computer (1) controls the NMR spectrometer (2). Radio-frequency pulses are sent from the spectrometer to the probe within the magnet (3).

NMR Sample & Spinner A few milligrams of material is dissolved in a deuterated solvent and placed in a 5 mm tube. The NMR sample tube is inserted into the spinner and positioned using the gold-colored depth gauge. |
 |
|
NMR Magnet The NMR sample and spinner are inserted into the bore tube (A) and neumatically lowered into the magnet and NMR probe below (C).

Within the Magnet Can The superconducting magnet (inner black area) is emersed in liquid helium (4 K). The outer insulated chamber is filled with liquid nitrogen (77 K). For more information on this picture go to JEOL USA A JEOL 270 MHz NMR SPECTROMETER with

Under the Magnet The probe and the shim stack are inserted into the magnet from below. Spectrometer connections to the Shim Stack and the Probe are made here.

|
Within the Magnet The sample sits inside the Shim Stack, which adjusts the magnetic field for maximum homogeneity.

|
Within the Shim Stack The sample sample sits in the probe.
