You are correct!
When I searched for spinners in the Bruker store, I went by the picture, saw
the price, and immediately said Nope. I expect a markup from Bruker, so it's
my fault for not looking closer.
So much for the "attention to detail" part of my job description.
Thank you,
Anne

I have a suspicion ... although the picture is then wrong, this might be for
the "special ultra-high field spinners" REQUIRED for GHz magnets, that's why
it explicitly says "modified standard spinner".
We have them on our 1200: they have (clearly visible!) little titanium rods
integrated in them to compensate for the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect which
lets diamagnetic things (live frogs, K-TEL spinners etc.) "float" on very
strong magnetic fields. So "normal" K-TEL spinners will take forever to settle
all the way down in such a strong magnet. Understandably, these very special
spinners would be much more expensive than the normal ones (although the
picture here definitvely shows a normal one WITHOUT the titanium inserts -
I guess it was just copied from the nromal spinners).
The "normal" spinners can be found here:

and they seem to be one order of magnitude cheaper ;-)
Ciao,
