Abstract

The invention concerns a superconducting magnet configuration for a high resolution NMR spectrometer which is highly stable over time and having a cryostat (21) with a vertical room temperature bore (23). A transverse access (32) through the cryostat (21) to the room temperature bore (23) is provided for at an easily accessible height directly above the upper end of the superconducting magnet coil (25) to substantially simplify the introduction of a sample. In a system having two helium tanks (26, 27), it is advantageous to have the access (32) arranged between these helium tanks.
