The occurrence of quite different timescales in solar microwave bursts is considered and possible ways of their physical interpretation are discussed. An interesting feature is the existence of hierarchic time structures, an example of which is provided by the solar event of 1991 March 23.

Plasma parameter sets to be invoked for the interpretation of timescales are estimated on the base of different models such as the collisionless conduction front model, the twisted magnetic loop model, the coalescence model, and the electric circuit model. With emphasis on the interpretation of burst fine structures with timescales of a few seconds the coalescence model has been favored. On the other hand, the simultaneous occurrence of a large range of different timescales appears well suited to be described by the circuit model.
