A single 10-minute exposure to 12 cm electromagnetic waves (microwaves) producing a measured central testicular temperature of 35°C caused testicular degeneration in all cases; in some experiments damage occurred with temperatures between 30°C and 35°C. Infrared irradiation for 10 minutes at 38°C did not produce damage, but damage was observed at 40°C and above; degeneration from microwave exposure was not distinguishable from that produced by infrared.
