ABSTRACT:
A sample probe and apparatus are provided for magnetic resonance experiments. The probe includes a coil simultaneously tunable to at least two different frequencies. The coil includes a section having a scroll configuration and defines a core into which a sample can be inserted. A multi-resonant circuit transmits RF energy to the coil at two or more different frequencies for exciting nuclei of the sample. The apparatus includes a coil having a scroll configuration. RF transmission circuitry transmits RF energy to the coil at two or more different frequencies. RF receiving circuitry receives an RF signal responsive to excitation. A coil is magnetically coupled with a sample at an RF frequency.
