Please post to list. I just got a new Energy Beam microwave today and haven't even started to play with the timing and power for drying my slides.

We have used our microwave to melt paraffin from tissue slides..to speed up the turn around time for recuts.3-4 mins with a 700 watt...Our old microwave bit the dust. We have a new one 1000 watt..I have set the power to 70% and used the 3-4 min thing...No luck..Tried it at 3-4-5- mins..also at full power..I cant find a consistent setting...any advise! Its either fried or paraffin gloss.

Thanks
