In a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus 1A including nuclear magnetic
resonance means 2 for elucidating atomic configuration and molecular
structure of a substance based on a decay signal of induced electromotive
force caused by resonance precession of nuclear magnetic moment induced
by irradiation of electromagnetic pulses in an RF region when the
substance is exposed to a strong magnetic field, and a vibration
isolation mechanism 3 for suppressing vibrations, the vibration isolation
mechanism 3 has an air spring 11 as an actuator, the air spring being
connected to a pressurized air source 34 via an electro-pneumatic
converter 25 and acting to exert a force for vibration isolation on the
nuclear magnetic resonance means 2, and the vibration isolation mechanism
is formed so as to be capable of active vibration isolation, and disposed
away from the nuclear magnetic resonance means 2 by such a distance that
the electro-pneumatic converter 25 never incurs any malfunctions or
operating failures under influence of a magnetic field generated by the
nuclear magnetic resonance means 2.
