Sensor carrier for use in nuclear spin tomography - contains upper and lower spring-loaded housing parts pivotably joined by axle and with light conductor leading to opposing cushions on front ends

摘要

The sensor carrier has upper and lower housing parts (2,3) pivotably connected together via an axle (4). Each has a deformable cushion (13,14) attached to its front end. The cushion are arranged opposite each other. A helical spring element (17) operates in the rear of the housing. A light conductor cable (20) contains at least one light conductor (21) leading to the cushions. The helical spring element is of non-metallic material. It is made of an elastomer, pref. of silicon. USE/ADVANTAGE - The sensor carrier is in the form of a clamp.
