A heat dissipatable die unit includes an outer die, a metal heat dissipating layer and an inner die piled in order. The inner die includes a probe installation section, and a peripheral portion surrounding the probe installation section and having an inner connecting surface for being connected to a die and an outer connecting surface opposite thereto. The probe installation section has a recessed portion recessed from the inner connecting surface, and a protruding portion protruding from the outer connecting surface, thereby forming a level difference portion bordering the peripheral portion. The outer die includes an installation recess and a supporting portion surrounding the installation recess. The installation recess is recessed from an inner surface of the supporting portion and accommodates the protruding portion of the inner die. The metal heat dissipating layer is disposed between the peripheral portion and the supporting portion to attain heat dissipating effect.

Example embodiments associated with characterizing a sample using NMR fingerprinting are described. One example NMR apparatus includes an NMR logic that repetitively and variably samples a (k, t, E) space associated with an object to acquire a set of NMR signals that are associated with different points in the (k, t, E) space. Sampling is performed with t and/or E varying in a non-constant way. The NMR apparatus may also include a signal logic that produces an NMR signal evolution from the NMR signals and a characterization logic that characterizes a tissue in the object as a result of comparing acquired signals to reference signals. Example embodiments facilitate distinguishing diseased tissue from healthy tissue based on tissue component fractions identified using the NMR fingerprinting.
