THE METHOD OF DECOUPLING THE SPINS OF A SECOND GROUP OF GYROMAGNETIC PARTICLES FROM THE SPINS OF A FIRST GROUP OF GYROMAGNETIC PARTICLES IN A SAMPLE CONTAINING AT LEAST SAID FIRST AND SECOND GROUPS IN A POLARIZING UNIDIRECTIONAL MAGNETIC FIELD, WHICH METHOD COMPRISES: APPLYING TO SAID SAMPLE A FIRST ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD HAVING A FREQUENCY SUBSTANTIALLY THAT OF THE LARMOR FREQUENCY OF SAID FIRST GROUP IN SAID UNIDIRECTIONAL FIELD, AND DETECTING THE GYROMAGNETIC RESONANCE OF SUCH FIRST GROUP; APPLYING A SECOND ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD TO SAID PARTICLES AT A FREQUENCY SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL TO THE GYROMAGNETIC RESONANCE FREQUENCY OF SAID SECOND GROUP OF PARTICLES IN SAID UNIDIRECTIONAL FIELD; AND APPLYING A THIRD ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD TO SAID PARTICLES AT A FREQUENCY SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL TO THE GYROMAGNETIC RESONANCE FREQUENCY OF SAID SECOND GROUP OF PARTICLES IN A MAGNETIC FIELD HAVING AN AMPLITUDE SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL TO THE AMPLITUDE OF SAID SECOND ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELD.
