Reviewer's Comments


"It is impossible to fault such a well planned, detailed, and executed piece of work, and the authors must be congratulated for clarifying the mysteries of th microwave oven. (by Paul Webster, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, In Journal of the Microscopy Society of America, Vol. 1A, No. 6 1995)

"The exercises in the text do work as the reviewer can attest." The book is a good introduction to the use of microwaves for the morphologist..." (by David Hopwood, Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, Dundee, Scotland. In Microscopy and Analysis, March 1996, Issue 52, pg.45)

"Login and Dvorak developed a series of 24 exercises that painlessly guide one through the calibration of microwave ovens. The reference should be considered [an] essential tool prior to using microwaves to process specimens for either light or electron microscopy. The time invested in studying this reference will be well spent since it will save countless hours of frustration and costly trial and error experimentation." (by John Bozzola, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois. In Tissue and Cell, 1997).

"The potential of microwave irradiation to enable very rapid processing of tissues is now obvious, and the possibility of enhancing immunostaining is raising considerable interest. This 'Tool Book' will be an invaluable guide in introducing the microwave oven to a wider audience." (by Peter Lewis and Audrey Glauert, University of Cambridge. Journal of Microscopy and Proceedings of the Royal Microscopy Society, 1997).

"The exercises in the text do work as the reviewer can attest." The book is a good introduction to the use of microwaves for the morphologist..." (by David Hopwood, Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, Dundee, Scotland. In Microscopy and Analysis, March 1996, Issue 52, pg. 45).

"This is a very complete book dealing with the use of microwaves in the preparation of tissue samples for light and electron microscopy. The originality of the approach taken in this book lies in the exercises in each chapter..." (by Moise Bendayan, University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In Microscopy Research and Technique, Vol. 34, August 1996, pg. 488).
