A spin echo apparatus is described which can measure nuclear relaxation effects for narrow resonances, convection and diffusion effects, and in some cases, chemical splittings in liquids. This apparatus is assembled mostly from commercial equipment. Commercial units used are identified, and circuit diagrams are given for specially constructed apparatus. Sufficient design information is given to make possible substitutions and improvements to suit the needs of particular projects. Necessary adjustment procedures are described and the relations of instabilities in the apparatus to instabilities in its components are treated.
