Summary

The morphology of the solidified samples was observed by cryomicroscopy. It was found that ice formation was greatly influenced by microwave irradiation. For example, ice formation could be reduced by roughly 56% in 3.5 M ethylene glycol solutions. An average reduction of 66% was observed in 4.5 M solutions.
