β¦ Synopsis
The design and construction of a probe for proton NMR microimaging studies of small objects, in particular single cells less than 1 mm in diameter, at 8.5 T is described. The probe incorporates a novel RF assembly and novel semishielded quadrupolar gradient coils. The design criteria are discussed and some preliminary results presented.

## Abstract This work investigates probe construction materials for their signal contribution to ultrashort echo time spectroscopy and imaging. ^1^H, ^13^C, and ^31^P spectra were obtained at a field strength of 9.4 T for 16 materials considered for use in probe and holder design and construction.
## Abstract Since background signal from NMR probes can overwhelm the signal from a sample, the NMR analysis of plastics or machinable ceramics is a prerequisite to their use in probe implementations. The contributions from a variety of materials to proton, fluorine, and carbon NMR spectra are pres
