ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for the examination of a moving component by the application of NMR methods and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). The saturation of electron spins required by DNP is adapted to occur within such area of an object in which the polarizing magnetic field has a different strength from the area of object which is subjected to NMR operations.
