High resolution, and high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) images in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) require long imaging times. In this work a setup for two separate shielded scroll coils with a common gradient and magnet was introduced to produce two independent three dimensional MRI data sets for MR microscopy. The RF coils and shields were designed, fabricated, and tested. 3-D printed cell samples were imaged using the fabricated set up. Overall, two samples could be acquired with a larger field of view and a similar SNR in the same time compared to a single sample in a solenoid.
