Abstract A microwave applicator was developed
to provide rapid thermal fixation of enzymes in the marine brain. Although
the power output of the device is only 1.3 kW, whole-brain levels of
acetylcholine after microwave fixation are comparable to those observed at a
power output of 5 kW, and are markedly higher than those obtained by a
conventional method (freezing) of fixation. |
