Abstract

The magnet contains a magnetic yoke and two pole shoes between which a magnetic field of high homogeneity is formed. The pole shoes are provided with special pole piece device. Each pole piece device is spaced from a base part facing the yoke by a narrow correction air gap. In accordance with the invention, each pole piece device contains two plate-like pole piece elements which are parallel to each other and spaced apart by a gap of predetermined width. In this connection, the plate element facing the base part has a relative permeability (.mu..sub.r 1) which is smaller by at least a factor of 5 than the plate element facing the useful volume, the relative permeability (.mu..sub.r 2) of which element is at least 10,000.
