Abstract

A dry method for indicating the electric field distribution during microwave heating is proposed, Toner particles, ordinarily used for copying, form a pattern on a heated plate that is directly related to the field. The pattern may be preserved by making a clear monochrome negative of the particle distribution. Resolution is superior to that of patterns formed by heated  thermopaint.
