NMR meets MUSICIANS

Demo: probe tuning signal

Tuning an NMR probe may be achieved in different ways:

Constant application of short-spaced pulses under minimization of the standing wave ratio (SWR) by using a reflection bridge.
Wobbling of the NMR signal.

Our spectrometer employs the first method. Here, probe tuning may be achieved also in an auditory manner by maximizing the sound volume. Beware: the sound is really nasty!
