Abstract

In a method for compensation of time variant field disturbances in magnetic fields of electromagnets with high field-homogeneity, in particular in sample volumes of superconducting electromagnets for measurements of magnetic resonance, the dispersion signal u.sub.x of the nuclear signal of a reference substance is acquired and taken into consideration for compensation by generation of a current dependent on the dispersion signal in a field correction coil of the electromagnet. The method is characterized in that the absorption signal u.sub.y of the reference substance is additionally acquired and that the compensation is carried out in dependence on the quantity u.sub.x /u.sub.y and/or (1/u.sub.y)(du.sub.x /dt). These are substantially independent of many influencing quantities.
