Abstract

A magnetic field generating assembly having at least two magnetic fields in the same sense. The generators are arranged such that, in use in a working region external to the generators, the resultant magnetic field exhibits a gradient extending in a first direction and at least second order variations in the fields in directions transverse to the first direction within the working region are substantially balanced such that an NMR experiment can be performed on a sample within the working region in accordance with the related method. The magnetic electrical field generators are substantially coaxial electrical coils, wherein the axis extends in the first direction.
