ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance (MR) microscope and a dual-mode optic and MR microscope system are disclosed. The MR microscope is provided with a horizontal stage above which a sample to be analyzed is located, a radiofrequency coil assembly located above the horizontal stage and below the sample, a magnetic field gradient module located under the horizontal stage, and a heat exchange unit thermally coupled to the magnetic field gradient module and located under the magnetic field gradient module. The dual-mode optic and MR microscope system is provided with an MR microscope and an optical microscope, the optical microscope comprising a mirror located above the sample.
