Abstract
The magnetic field in the working volume of an apparatus for the measurement of magnetic resonance, in particular nuclear magnetic resonance, is homogenized in that shim platelets are arranged in stacks in pre-calculated positions around the working volume and for a fine adjustment in the mounted state they are continuously displaced from these positions, preferably by means of piezo translators.
