It is an object of the invention to provide, in a nuclear magnetic
resonance spectrometer wherein the direction of the static magnetic field
is the horizontal direction, a nuclear magnetic resonance probe coil
having a highly uniform magnetic field, which can measure at high
sensitivity. The present invention, by selecting the design and shapes of
the materials forming the probe coil with a view to suppressing disorder
in the magnetic field distribution, and using superconducting thin film
coils formed on hollow circular substrates to form a receiver coil and
coil support materials having curved surfaces, provides a nuclear
magnetic resonance spectrometer of high sensitivity that can improve
uniformity of a magnetic field.
