Abstract
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer probe head having one or more drive units, one or more transmission units and one or more drive shafts which are coupled to adjustment rods and a means for directly mounting and fastening the drive unit, transmission unit, and drive shaft to the lower portion of the probe head during operation of the NMR spectrometer, which increases user comfort and freedom of motion below the magnet. The probe head also having an actuator for remote control adjustment of electrical and/or mechanical units, e.g. trimmer capacitors, variable resistors, and adjustable inductors within the probe head. The probe head is characterized in that the amount of space needed for the actuator is minimized, access to the region below the magnet is optimized, and installation of the actuator is simplified because the actuator is an integral part of the NMR-probe head within an NMR-spectrometer.
