Method of and device for irradiating animals

摘要

A cage for research animals to be subjected to radiation comprises an enclosure formed by upper and lower plates and openwork spanning these plates. One of these plates is formed as a planar irradiator, e.g. by embedding a planar array of irradiation sources in spaced-apart relationship in the plate serving as the irradiator. The invention also relates to a method of irradiating animals for reseach purposes utilizing this cage.
