1. A nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer comprising:
a solenoid type superconductive magnet having a horizontal winding axis, the superconductive magnet symmetrically arranged with respect to the horizontal winding axis; a low temperature container for cooling the superconductive magnet; a magnetic shield combined with the low temperature container; and a solenoid type reception coil for receiving a signal from a sample;
wherein the low temperature container includes a first passage extending along a direction perpendicular to the horizontal winding axis for inserting the sample and a second passage extending along a direction parallel to the horizontal winding axis, and
wherein the superconductive magnet is operated in a permanent current mode.
