It is well known that for optimum sensitivity, the diameter of the pickup coil for a SQUID biomagnetometer should be no less than the source-to-coil spacing, and that this distance is the primary determinant of the spatial resolution of the magnetometer (Roth et al., 1989). As a result, SQUID systems with conventional Dewars typically have spatial resolutions of 10 to 20 mm when resolution is measured in terms of the ability either to image a current distribution (Roth et al., 1989) or to resolve two closely-spaced dipolar current sources (Tan et al., 1989). While 1 to 2 cm resolution is adequate for many studies on humans, experiments on in vitro preparations such as isolated nerves and muscles and slices of brain and cardiac tissue would benefit from 1 to 2 mm resolution. Because the fields from these sources fall off as l/r2 to l/ r3, it can be advantageous to trade absolute magnetometer sensitivity for decreased coil-to-source spacing (Roth et al. 1989; Wikswo, 1988). We describe measurements made with a 4-channel SQUID gradiometer whose 3 mm diameter pickup coils are located 1.4 mm from the outer surface of the Dewar (Buchanan, et al., 1989).
