<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE="CITE"> <BR>About microwave ovens. I remember one time
attending a teleconference on Histotechnology organized by the Universty of
Texas Health Science Center At San Antonio. The title was "Microwave
Fixation and processing". The presenter was a gentleman by the name of
Steven Slap of Energy Beams Sciences, Inc. Agawan Massachusetts. He talked
about laboratory microwave ovens. Their company has a series of them. You
could contact that company for more info. A microwave oven accepting
metal?.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><BR>I saw a microwave oven at Home Depot last week that had a big metal
rack right in the middle! Seems the "no-metal" rule has been circumvented by
technology.
