In the presented short communication the authors refer on the first testing of microwires for monitoring the position of rats. Single piece of microwires was implanted in general inhalatory anaesthesia (by 1.5% soflurane with oxygen) via two small surgical incisions into subcutaneous tissue at the back of the rat. By help of the simple contactless coil, produced on the plastic tube, it was possible to assess the position of the rat inside the tube and monitor eventual movements of the animal.
