According to "Physical Chemistry" fourth ed., by Ira N. Levine. Pub by
Mc-graw-Hill, inc. 1995 pg 680:
Microwaves are EM-radiation with wavelengths between 10 cm and 1mm.
well, it seems I can't use 21 cm radiation... oh well, I'm sure there's a
quiet portion of the spectrum somewhere in the microwave region.

agreed. IR <1mm.

Sorry too. But I think that mesh size should be ~1mm don't forget that
7:1 doppler shift.
