In this paper, we describe an implantable solenoidal microcoil of 200 mum.
in diameter for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR spectroscopy).
This microcoil is used as receiving coil only during experiments. A simula
tion of the electromagnetic properties of this microcoil is proposed and co
mpared to the experimental measurement. H-1 spectra of 0.33 cm(3) sample of
a deionised water or of a lipid compound sample were taken at 2 T, using s
uch solenoidal microcoil (85.13 MHz). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All ri
