Abstract

Using a low transition temperature superconducting quantum interference device as a detector, we have obtained magnetic resonance images of laser-polarized ³He gas and solid ¹²⁹Xe at 4.2 K in magnetic fields as low as 0.54 mT (³He) and 1 mT (¹²⁹Xe), corresponding to Larmor frequencies of 17.6 and 11.8 kHz, respectively. The experimental resolution of the images is ∼500μm for ³He in the gas phase and ∼950μm for ¹²⁹Xe in the solid state.
