Abstract
Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times are measured on copper using magnetic resonance force microscopy performed at temperatures down to 42 mK. The low temperature is verified by comparison with the Korringa relation. Measuring spin-lattice relaxation times locally at very low temperatures opens up the possibility to measure the magnetic properties of inhomogeneous electron systems realized in oxide interfaces, topological insulators and other strongly correlated electron systems such as high-Tc superconductors.

You were right to use that computer as an example. Here's an MRI probe that's quite literally microscopic. Fig 1 says it's about 3.5µm in diameter. [1] [1] http://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.04238v2.pdf
The paper referenced is 'Probing the Nuclear Spin-Lattice Relaxation Time at the Nanoscale' [1] by researchers at the Leiden Institute of Physics. One of the reasons this is interesting is the application to brain imaging - it is suggested it can be used to study the brains of…
