We demonstrated a newly developed method of pH mapping based on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). To reduce the missing-angle and the field-of-view of spectral-spatial images, EPR spectra at lower and center components of pH-sensitive nitroxyl radicals were individually measured. Reasonable pH values for test tubes were obtained with our pH mapping method. In this study, we obtained pH values with low standard deviation (}0.05 pH).
