[en] In addition to the measuring and stabilizing coils, the measuring head of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is provided with a spatially separated compensating coil whose winding is connected such that its polarity is opposite to that of the stabilizing coil. The advantage of the wiring is that compensation of the interaction of the two coils allows independent selection of their inductance, optimal with respect to frequencies used. In view of the symmetric design, the compensating coil operates as a second stabilizing coil and the resulting stabilizing signal is therefore roughly doubled. The advantages above improve the signal-to-noise ratio. (M.D.)
