Figure 5.4: Bottom side of the mouse body animal bed. (1) Notch for animal bed mounting
on the basic animal holder ......................................................................... 67
Figure 5.5: Left: Notch (1) on the bottom side of the animal bed. Right: Front part of the
basic animal holder. (2) Rail for holding the animal bed notch (1); (3)
Fixation for animal bed (lever from below is not visible); (4) Tuning rod; (5)
Coil fixation rod .......................................................................................... 67
Figure 5.6: Attaching the coil tuning rod. Left: Push the coupling (1) into the tune adapter
(2) at the coil. The spring in the screw (3) will lock into the hole (4). Right:

Figure 5.10: Placing the animal in the anesthesia mask. The incisors are placed in the bite
ring (1) of the tooth bar (2). Then the animal is pulled into the respiration
mask (3). The tooth bar is fixed with a knurled screw (not shown). ........... 72
Figure 5.11: The rat body RF Coil has been shifted onto the rat bed. The coil was
tightened with the screw (1) to the fixation rod. The tune coupling (2) was
attached to the tune adapter (for details also see Figure 5.6 on page 70);
(3) The RF Coil has been connected the BNC connector of thebasic holder.

Figure 5.12: (1) Magnet Center marking on the animal bed. (2) The hole in the body RF
Coil was aligned with the Magnet Center marking. .................................... 73
Figure 5.13: Fixating the position of the mouse body RF Coil with screw (5) ................... 74
Figure 5.14: Fixate the Basic Animal Holder in the magnet with the knurled screw (1). Two
scales, one for horizontal shifts (2, with 2-mm division), and one for rotation
(3, with 3-degree division) facilitate positioning. The Magnet Center Position
is reached when both scales show zero. ................................................... 74
