an excellent introduction to the field which also provides sufficient detail for the expert, so that it can also be used as accompanying material for a course on this subject ... For any scientist, NMR expert or novice who wants to know about the physics of NMR imaging and NMR microsocpy, this is the book to consult. The book is highly recommended for science libraries to acquire and for interested readers to buy. * Berhnard Blumich, Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Vol. 33, 322 (1995) * 'The book is well written, the level is appropriate to a graduate student in natural sciences, and it can be recommended to everybody who is interested in an application of NMR microscopy, esepcially of the conventional type ( k-space acquisition).'
