摘要： A magnetic field measuring apparatus has a magnetic field shielding apparatus including non-magnetic cylindrical members on which high-permeability sheets are located in a state of being partially overlapped with each other. The cylindrical members are located to surround an axis of a first direction concentrically and having a hollow portion, the cylindrical member located on an innermost-side having a first opening at one end of the first direction, a second opening at the other end of the first direction, and a third opening penetrating the cylindrical members in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the first direction. In addition, the magnetic field measuring apparatus has a living-body holder located in an inner-side space of the cylindrical member and a cryostat inserted into the third opening and maintaining SQUID magnetic-flux meters.

摘要： A gradiometer integrating pickup coils comprises pickup coils 11Xp, 11Xn magnetically connected to a SQUID through associated input coils 2, and pickup coils 11Yp, 11Yn magnetically connected to a SQUID through associated input coils 2, respectively. Two superconducting loops are connected in series to each of the SQUIDs, when viewed from Josephson junctions 5. The input coils 2 form superconducting closed loops together with the pickup coils 11Xp, 11Xn, 11Yp, 11Yn associated therewith. The SQUIDs are respectively connected to form an 8-figured shape as a whole such that currents flow in two superconducting loops of each SQUID in opposite directions to each other, with respect to the application of a uniform field, in order to reduce environmental magnetic field noise.

摘要： An apparatus can detect a magnetic field with a high sensitivity using an ordinary-temperature pickup coil even when the pickup coil is arranged outside a cryostat. Specifically, the apparatus for measuring a magnetic field includes a pickup coil for detecting an external magnetic field, a SQUID electrically or magnetically connected to the pickup coil, a cryostat for holding the SQUID at low temperatures, and a driving device for driving the SQUID. The pickup coil is made of a normal-conducting material and is placed at an ordinary temperature outside the cryostat. By arranging outside the cryostat, the pickup coil can be brought close to a subject and can thereby detect a weak magnetic field in the subject with a high sensitivity.

The reference signal multiplied by a specified factor is subtracted from a difference between signals from the adjacent sensing magnetometers (3). The magnetic field measurement system allows measurement of an extremely weak magnetic field by efficiently canceling the external field.
