Micro5

The Micro5 probe supports Bruker‘s most powerful 3 T/m imaging gradient, delivering stunning magnetic resonance microscopy images with resolutions < 10 x 10 x 10 µm3 samples in a Bruker standard bore magnet. But the probe can also be used in wide bore and super wide bore systems. Combined with it‘s versatile exchangeable rf coils it can be adapted to perfectly match your  application, supporting sample diameters from 0.5 - 10 mm.

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

MR Microscopy techniques for small samples with dedicated diameters 5 and 10 mm benefit from CryoProbe technology and a factor of up to 4  improvement in sensitivity on non-polar samples. The superb image quality, top-of-the-line spatial resolution and/or largely reduced scan times. The MR Microscopy CryoProbe technology is based on the HR CryoProbe ensuring full compatibility to the Automatic Tuning Module (ATM) and the Cryoplatform unit.

The single or double frequency MR Microscopy CryoProbe offers variable temperature operation over the range from 0 to 80 ºC and is mounted in the Micro2.5 gradient system, which is the MR Microscopy gradient workhorse. Its gradient strength is perfect for most applications. The Micro2.5 remains in the magnet while the MicWB40 is removed from the magnet to insert the sample. It is available for WB and SWB systems. 

The MR Microscopy CryoProbe is a very dedicated and customized device. Please contact the MR Microscopy Product Management for details.

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.

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.

It is combined with Bruker’s Micro2.5 WB gradient system, which is the MR Microscopy gradient workhorse. Its gradient strength is perfect for most applications. The Micro2.5 remains in the magnet while the MicWB40 is removed from the magnet to insert the sample.

The MicWB40 probe is Brukers most versatile probe supporting 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

• 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. 
• Animal Handling Accessory
• Animal Monitoring Unit 

Fusing Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) technology with the MR Microscopy gradient technology enables to acquire images and localized spectra of semi-solid objects due to the combination of reduced signal linewidth with a high and very linear gradient field. Rotors with a 3.2 or 4 mm diameter are offered, further on request. Besides imaging applications very slow diffusion processes can be investigated applying the strong gradient fields.

The Micro2.5 remains in the magnet while the MicWB40 is removed from the magnet to insert the sample. Utilizing the Micro2.5 gradient the maximum gradient strength of 2.5 T/m along the magic angle is reached if the x, y, z gradients are switched simultaneously. 

The MR Microscopy MAS Probe is a very dedicated and customized device. Please contact the MR Microscopy Product Management before placing an order.
