Probes

Micro5

MR Microscopy standard bore probe with exchangeable coils and integrated gradients for samples up to 10 mm diameter.

Under optimal sample conditions, this SB probe can capture images with a resolution of up to 10x10x10 µm3. It can be adapted to all Bruker vertical magnets and is perfectly suited for applications in the sample range from 0.5 to 10 mm.

The Micro5 probe can also be used as a 3-axis diffusion probe to increase the gradient strength in one direction. It is particularly useful to investigate anisotropic diffusion.

Features

  • Standard Bore Probe, also compatible to WB and SWB magnets
  • Gradient strength of up to 3 T/m, water cooled
  • Exchangeable rf coils
  • Micro5 rf coils (compatible to Diff50 except 10 mm coils)
    2 and 4 mm Solenoid Coils
        - 5 – 10 mm Volume Coils (Sample transfer via SB-BST)
        - Double channel 5 – 8 mm coils and single channel 5 – 10 mm coils
  • Variable Temperature Control (compatible to BSVT and BCU)
  • Compatible to SB or WB Shim System
  • Compatible to TopShim
  • Probe body compatible to Diff50 MR Diffusion Probe

Applications

The Micro5 probe is typically used to study mineral or geologic samples, polymers, tablet dissolution kinetics, plants and seeds, bone or tissue biopsy samples, and small insects.

Accessories

  • 2 – 4 mm Solenoid coil. The samples must be placed horizontally in this type of rf coils.
  • 5 or 10 mm single tuned saddle coil or a 5 or 8 mm double tuned coil. In this case the sample can be changed using the Bruker BST sample transfer system.
  • Diff Software Application
  • Dynamic Center for data processing
