5.2.3.2 Overview – RF Coils
As an example, Figure 5.3 shows the schematic layout of the mouse body RF Coil. This
fixed RF Coils have following connections:
Tuning rod connector (2)
RF connection cable (3)
In addition, the body RF Coils have a hole (4) and knurled screw (5) for fixation of the RF
Coil on the coil fixation rod of the basic holder.

rod; (5) Coil fixation on the fixation rod
For all body examination beds the RF Coils may be taken off for easy animal preparation.
The head examination beds are an integral part of a RF Coil and must not be removed
Therefore, the basic holder’s fixation rod is not required. This does not apply to the
60 mm rat body RF Coil which is magnet mounted from the rear. The corresponding
multimodal animal cassettes (MMAC) are mounted on an adapter and inserted from the
front side of the instrument, see Technical Documentation/Components/RF Coils/ Rat Body
60 mm RF Coil.
