Abstract :
A magic angle rotating field (MARF) NMR/MRI magnet has been designed and built, demonstrating future potential to realize vivo measurement of the chemical composition of specific biological tissues and organs, This proof of principle prototype opens the possibility for in situ magic angle scanning of stationary, living, biological specimens. Magnetic design strategy and performance capability are described.
