β¦ Synopsis
We report in this note that we have taken the first images (one of which is shown below) using a Positron Reemission Microscope (PRM) i.e., a microscope based on the imaging of positrons (e+) reemitted with a few eV energy from a target. Some of the contrasts which appear in the PRM are totally different from the recently demonstrated Transmission Positron Microscope' and also from those present in any version of an electron microscope. See reference 1 for a discussion of, and references to, positron microscopy.

## Abstract Combining positron emission tomography and MRI modalities typically requires using either conventional MRI with a MRβcompatible positron emission tomography system or a modified MR system with conventional positron emission tomography. A feature of fieldβcycled MRI is that all magnetic
