The Ferris wheel concept developed by Balzano et al. [2000] was adopted and optimised for this study. The exposure system consisted of four "Ferris wheel" exposureunits, each exposing up to 65 animals at a different SAR (high, medium, low and sham).
Setup
Each wheel consisted of two parallel, circular, stainless-steel metal plates 117 mm apart, with a conical antenna in their center and stainless-steel poles short-circuiting the cylindrical cavity at a radius of 755 mm.
The positions of the animals, restrained in plastic tubes similar to those approved and used for inhalation studies, were optimized for maximum uniformity. Missing animals were replaced by conical plastic tubes filled with 36 ml of liquid, simulating the dielectric parameters of muscletissue.
