Abstract
A specialized installation has been developed for microscopic study of the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) formation during microwave irradiation of biological samples with automated control / mechanized tube and real-time data acquisition. The above installation can be used in biomedical practice for: standardization or certification of the microwave sources; testing of the potential antioxidants that protect tissues from ROS-induced effects; testing fluorescent sensors for ROS; analysis of ROS localization and distribution in various tissues in order to establish specific pharmaco-physiotherapeutic and toxicological localizations of ROS in different topographic-anatomical zones. The paper pays special attention to the singlet oxygen produced by the samples upon microwave treatment, as a physiologically active and highly reactive agent.
