Deposited dose in a thick sample (\({600}\,{\upmu \textrm{m}}\) water) in the ZF configuration. (a) Dose per unit input charge at varying depth in water with \(\Delta z\left[ ScS-Q2 \right] ={250} \hbox { mm}\) and a scattering filter of \({50}\,{\upmu \textrm{m}}\) aluminum. (b) Simulated 2D map of integrated dose through the entire sample. (c) Experimental dose maps recorded on a test shot where EBT-XD type radiochromic films were inserted in the embryos confinement volume (see Fig. 16) verify penetration. Each RCF has water equivalent thickness of \({385}\,{\upmu \textrm{m}}\). Inset doses refer to the 5 mm diameter ROI marked in panel (b).
