ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising device for applying a magnetic field to a sample to be imaged, device for applying pulses of MR transition-exciting electromagnetic radiation to the sample, an NMR signal coil for detecting the resulting radiation from the sample, and device for appling pulses of electromagnetic radiation to the sample for stimulating coupled ESR transitions, in which a pulse generating device is coupled to the NMR signal coil and antennas are coupled to the coil and disposed at plural positions along the coil, whereby pulses for stimulating coupled ESR transitions may be transmitted from the pulse generating device through the coil to the antennas and thence into the sample, the antennas being arranged to give a predominantly magnetic coupling to the sample.
