Overview

Gradient inserts can be used for experimental conditions where very strong gradient and shim fields are required over smaller sample regions. In this way, the gradient and shim performance can be ideally adjusted to the size of the sample. In the following table the different system gradients inclusive corresponding inserts are listed:
