NMR from an Instrument point of view

This section focuses on the NMR instrument. All instruments have three basic components: a signal generator, a sample holder and a detector.
For NMR:
- signal generator - radio
- sample holder - such as an NMR tube in a spinner.
- Detector - antenna
An NMR has a fourth component, a magnet, that is used to put the sample into an excited state. This excited state is then probed with the signal generator and the result detected with the detector.
