• The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a fully balanced gradient echo technique (TrueFISP) can be used for microscopic experiments at high static magnetic field strengths. TrueFISP experiments were successfully performed on homogeneous and inhomogeneous objects at 11.75 T. High-resolution TrueFISP images were obtained from phantoms, plants, formalin-fixed samples, and from an isolated beating rat heart with an in-plane resolution of 78 μm and a slice thickness of 500 μm. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain of TrueFISP compared to conventional gradient echo or spin echo sequences will allow faster acquisition times or an improvement in spatial resolution for microscopic experiments.
