A dielectric resonator is used in a magnetic resonance examination apparatus comprising a magnet system (31, 32) for generating a steady magnetic field in an examination space (2), a transmitter device (12, 13, 18, 28) for generating an RF field to be superposed on the steady magnetic field in an object (30) to be examined, a device for producing a resonance step-up of the RF field active in the object (30) to be examined, and a device for detecting magnetic resonance signals generated in the object (30) to be examined. Stronger B1 fields are created by at least one dielectric resonator (1, 5, 10, 16, 17, 20, 21) which neighbors the object (24) to be examined and which comprises a dielectric having a relative dielectric constant epsilon r>20, the dimensions of the resonator being chosen so that therein, using a neighboring transmitter device, (12, 13, 18) there can be generated at least one resonant mode with a frequency which is in the vicinity of the Larmor frequencies to be detected of the nuclei to be excited in the object (24) to be examined, for example, protons.
