Figure 6.

Quantitative assessment of skin damage with respect to microwave heating time. Green scale denotes the time and microwave power where no tissue damage was observed in the synthetic skin sample (note that the initial temperature of the synthetic skin sample was adjusted to the values given in y axis). “Glowing” orange scale is the “transition zone” where minor tissue damage was observed. Red scale denotes significant tissue damage. Time values indicate the duration of microwave heating where synthetic skin samples remain undamaged.
