We propose a new multi-turn histology coil for imaging microscopic histological tissue with a higher SNR than previous coil designs.
Figure 1. The pictures of the coils and their schematics. a) U-shaped coil , b) 3-turn solenoid coil, c) 8-turn solenoid coil. d,e) Schematics of the U-shaped coil and a solenoid coil. e) is citation from reference[4]. Cm and Ct enable fine adjustment of the coil impedance matching and resonance frequency tuning
Figure 4. The images of a 40 μm-thick rat brain slice. a) U-shaped coil, b) 3-turn solenoid coil, c) 8-turn solenoid coil. The signal value was measured in the red square region, and the noise value was measured in the yellow rectangle. The color scale was adjusted for each image.
