The RFexposure device was a modified coaxial line with a perfused cell chamber that was continuous with the inner conductor of the transmission line. The line was terminated in an electrical short consisting of a thin stainless steel shim. A round coverslip was inserted above the shim which also formed the floor of the cylindrical chamber. The cells were viewable through a small hole in the shim. The hole was small enough to provide shielding from electromagnetic scattering influence of the inverted microscope on which the RFexposure device was mounted.
