            Abstract : 
The aim of this paper is to realize excitation in a small volume, development of diagnostic methods for cold Rydberg atoms, spectroscopy of the microwave transitions between Rydberg states in the presence of the magneto-optical trap (MOT) quadrupole magnetic field, as well as observation of dipole-dipole interaction of a small number of Rydberg atoms.
