Abstract
Over the past two days we have seen a remarkably wide sweep of work, all within the scope of nuclear magnetic resonance in intact biological systems. The subjects have ranged from n.m.r. studies of molecular processes, to cellular processes, to the metabolism of whole organs, to the examination of body fluids, to n.m.r. investigations of whole animals and to the exploration of the structure and tissue discrimination in live human hands and arms, human heads, chests and abdomens, altogether covering a ratio of some 10 28 :1 in mass, from specific molecules to man. At each level, n.m.r. spectroscopy has been able to contribute new information not readily obtained by other techniques, demonstrating its unique power of non-destructive investigation of materials and systems of all kinds.
