Explore the interdisciplinary applications of magnetic resonance microscopy in this one-of-a-kind resource

In Magnetic Resonance Microscopy: Instrumentation and Applications in Engineering, Life Science and Energy Research, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive exploration of the use of magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) and similar techniques in an interdisciplinary milieux. Opening with a section on hardware and methodology, the book moves on to consider developments in the field of mobile nuclear magnetic resonance.

Essential processes, including filtration, multi-phase flow and transport, and a wide range of systems - from biomarkers via single cells to plants and biofilms - are discussed next. After a fulsome treatment of MRM in the field of energy research, the editors conclude the book with a chapter extoling the virtues of a holistic treatment of theory and application in MRM.

Magnetic Resonance Microscopy: Instrumentation and Applications in Engineering, Life Science and Energy Research also includes:

• A thorough introduction to recent developments in magnetic resonance microscopy hardware and methods, including ceramic coils for MR microscopy
• Comprehensive explorations of applications in chemical engineering, including ultra-fast MR techniques to image multi-phase flow in pipes and reactors
• Practical discussions of applications in the life sciences, including MRI of single cells labelled with super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
• In-depth examinations of new applications in energy research, including spectroscopic imaging of devices for electrochemical storage

Perfect for practicing scientists from all fields, Magnetic Resonance Microscopy: Instrumentation and Applications in Engineering, Life Science and Energy Research is an ideal resource for anyone seeking a one-stop guide to magnetic resonance microscopy for engineers, life scientists, and energy researchers.

Prof. Sabina Haber-Pohlmeier is Principal Investigator at the University of Stuttgart focusing on relaxometry, especially fast field cycling relaxometry, of fluids in porous media, spatially resolved studies in soil-plant systems, investigation of transport processes and combination of MRI with complementary non-invasive tomographic methods such as neutron imaging.

Prof. Bernhard Blümich was Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University and is cofounder and director of Magritek Ltd., a manufacturer of tabletop NMR spectrometers and the NMR-MOUSE. His work aims at understanding the macroscopic properties of polymer and porous materials on a microscopic and molecular scale employing novel NMR methods and instrumentation.

Dr. Luisa Ciobanu is currently Research Director at NeuroSpin, CEA-Saclay and focuses on the development of new techniques for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at high and ultra-high magnetic fields for the understanding of fundamental physical principles underlying biological function.
