Magnetic multiple resonance instrumentation

Linkages progress in many ways and instances. Many are catalyzed by ever widening capabilities of instrumental skills, exemplified by the study and use of nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The joining of intellectual approaches and skills between disciplines will create major and basic advances such as to have multiple impacts on many branches of biomedical science. 

The resolution of NMR depends on both the magnetic field strength and the resonance frequency of the instrument. In the early years (ca. 1953), for example, NMR instruments could resolve only three proton resonances pertaining to ethyl alcohol. Modem instmments can show the multiplicity of the line shape, revealing more details of the nuclear environment. This multiplicity arises due to spin-spin coupling, another important NMR spectmm parameter.
