Integrated Balb/c mouse IVM-RF setup. Panel a Copper tape grounds the mouse to the platform (all extremities, including ears, paws, feet, and tail) and secures the nose to the anesthesia tube. (The white scale bar represents 1 cm.) Sutures position the skin flap, so that the tumor has preferential orientation in the RF field. The region of the incision (but not the tumor) has been blurred out for instructional purposes, so that the location of the tumor is in clear view. A dotted line shows the approximate incision line, and the arrow indicates the tumor. Panel b Water-immersion lens is positioned over coverslip that is positioned over the surgically exposed tumor. Panel c RX and TX RF antennas on either side of platform
