A novel X-band CW EPR imaging has been developed using magnetic-field-gradient (MFG) spinning to obtain spatial distributions of electron paramagnetic species. Spinning MFG EPR imaging for 65 projection spectra required just 55 s while conventional imaging took 11 min 40 s, that is, the acquisition

Abstract
The use of spin echoes to obtain spectroscopic EPR images (spectralโspatial images) at 250 MHz is described. The advantages of spin echoesโlarger signals than the free induction decay, better phase characteristics for Fourier transformation, and decay shapes undistorted by instrumental dead timeโare clearly shown. An advantage is gained from using a crossed loop resonator that isolates the 250โW pump power by greater than 50 dB from the observer arm preamplifiers. The echo decay rates can be used to determine the oxygen content in solutions containing 1 mM trityl concentrations. Twoโ and threeโdimensional images of oxygen concentration are presented.
