Abstract
Magnetic field generating apparatus having a solenoid arranged to generate a steady magnetic field gradient along its axis. The arrangement is such that in use contours of constant field are formed within the solenoid. The contours extend generally radially outwardly from the axis of the solenoid and asymmetrically with respect to the center plane of the solenoid orthogonal to its axis. Regions of substantially homogeneous magnetic field suitable for performing an NMR experiment exist about each contour, the regions having substantially constant thickness along the contours.
