A modular high-pressure chamber is described. This chamber will allow stable microelectrode recordings to be made for a variety of intracellular preparations at pressure of 200-300 atmospheres absolute. Its features include internal temperature control, easy visibility, continuous perfusion, electrical penetrations, and manipulation of several internal controls while the system is at pressure. The small size and high versatility of the Wilson chamber make it a convenient and inexpensive research unit for experiments in the moderately high-pressure ranges that affect biological preparations.

There are several installations with shock tubes in the world, in which a shock wave in air propagates at a speed close to the second cosmic one. Such velocities are achieved by supplying of high energy (~ 1 MJ) to the pushing gas in the high-pressure chamber.
