Opis

Although nuclear magnetic resonance is perhaps best known for its spectacular utility in medical tomography, its potential applicability to fields such as biology, materials science, and chemical physics is being increasingly recognized as laboratory NMR spectrometers are adapted to enable small scale imaging. This excellent introduction to the subject explores principles and common themes underlying two key variants of NMR microscopy, and provides many examples of their use. Methods discussed are not only important to fundamental biological and physical research, but have applications to a wide variety of industries, including those concerned with petrochemicals, polymers, biotechnology, food processing, and natural product processing. The wide range of scientists interested in NMR microscopy will want to own a copy of this book.

Recenzje

an excellent introduction to the field which also provides sufficient detail for the expert, so that it can also be used as accompanying material for a course on this subject ... For any scientist, NMR expert or novice who wants to know about the physics of NMR imaging and NMR microsocpy, this is the book to consult. The book is highly recommended for science libraries to acquire and for interested readers to buy.
