A nuclear magnetic resonance probe head comprising at least two
coil/resonator configurations A1 and A2, wherein at least one of the
coil/resonator configurations A1 has two saddle-shaped coils S1 and S2
(1, 2; 21; 41, 42; 53), wherein each coil (1, 2; 21; 41, 42; 53) has a
window (9) about which N windings (3, 4; 26, 28, 30) are disposed which
are connected in series, wherein N.gtoreq.2, wherein the coil/resonator
configurations A1 and A2 are aligned perpendicularly to each other, and
wherein the coil/resonator configurations A1 and A2 have different
resonance frequencies is characterized in that each coil S1 and S2 (1, 2;
21; 41, 42; 53) is formed mirror-symmetrically relative to a central
plane (5) of the respective coil (1, 2; 21; 41, 42; 53), which is
perpendicular to the window (9) of the respective coil, and wherein the
central planes (5) of the coils S1 and S2 are identical to minimize the
electromagnetic coupling between the two coil/resonator configurations A1
and A2 at the resonance frequency of A2. The inventive NMR probe head
reduces coupling between the two coil/resonator configurations.
