ABSTRACT:
In an NMR apparatus with a system of gradient coils for the production of a magnetic field gradient within a measurement volume (1) within a field coil, the transverse gradient coils are constructed unsymmetrically with respect to the z=0 plane dividing the measurement volume (1), however largely mirror symmetric to a x=0 or y=0 plane containing the z axis, and possess only two partial coils (20', 20''; 40', 40'') whose windings each exhibit the same winding direction. The axial gradient coils are cylindrically symmetric with respect to the z axis and totally unsymmetric with respect to the z=0 plane, and consist of at least two partial coils which are arranged on differing sides of z=0 plane, whereby the partial coils on one side largely exhibit the opposite winding direction than the coils on the other side, and whereby the number of coils with a particular winding direction is not equal to the number of coils with the opposite winding direction. In each case, it is thereby achieved that the measurement volume (1) is displaced to a, relative to the z axis, axial end of the apparatus so that access to the measurement volume (1) is substantially improved.
