An apparatus for measuring the amount of moisture in a sample which is generally formed of a microwave energy source, a microwave radiating element connected to the source, a microwave energy receiving element, and a microwave energy indication connected to the receiving element. The sample is positioned between the radiating and receiving elements and a structure is provided for changing the energy transmission path through the sample by at least one-half wavelength of the microwave energy. Such means may take the form of a frequency modulator connected to the source, a dielectric disc in the transmission path, or a structure for continuously changing the distance between the radiating element and the sample or combination of these means.
