Micro2.5 – MicWB40
The Micro2.5 / MicWB40 probe is the perfect tool for imaging of a wide range of small objects. The MicWB40 rf probe is equipped with exchangeable coils supporting sample diameters from 1 to 30 mm. If required it can be equipped with the animal monitoring system to supervise physiological parameters of the animals (ECG, respiration, body temperature) and provide connections and masks for breathing gas anesthesia. Different type of animal beds and positioning systems are supported for the individual coil types. An optional VT set allows to control the temperature of the sample between -20°C and +60°C.
The Micro2.5 gradient system offers a gradient strength of up to 1.5 T/m and is perfectly suited for most applications from small ex vivo samples to in vivo experiments with mice.
Features
- Wide Bore Probe, compatible to SWB magnets
- Gradient strength of up to 1.5 T/m per axis, water cooled
- Animal support (Triggering Unit, Anesthesia)
- Exchangeable Rf coils, named ‘MicWB40’ series
- 2.5 mm Solenoid
- 5-30 mm Single Tuned Coils, in part circular polarized
- 5-30 mm Double Tuned Coils
- Surface Coils
- Optional Variable Temperature Control (compatible to BSVT, BCU,…)
- Special sample holders for glass tubes or animal beds are available.
Applications
The MicWB40 probe is Brukers most versatile probe providing large space (30 mm) for samples but also a high gradient strength for high resolution. It’s the Bruker MR Microscopy workhorse for all kind of samples from materials to in-vivo.

Accessories
- 2.5 mm solenoid coil. Due to the B1 direction, the samples must be placed horizontally.
- 5 – 30 mm volume coil (in 5 mm steps). The sample needs to be placed manually into the rf coil. Single tuned coils up to 15 mm are linear coils, while 20-30 mm coils are circular polarized coils (needs quad combiner or two receive/transmit channels in the console). Double tuned coils (5-30 mm) are always linear. Comes with sample holder in corresponding diameter.
- Surface coils (10, 15, 20 mm) can be tuned to a single frequency where the object needs to be placed directly on the coil and is typical used for in-vivo experiments. The animal handing is included with the coil.
