Put a bulb (either burned out or not) base down in a cup of water and
put it on the turntable in your microwave oven. Set it for 15 seconds
or so and watch it 'light up' as it passes through the 'hot spots' in
the oven.
I let one 'overcook' until it burst and the metal filament and the
support leads were VERY interesting to examine.
