Superconducting (SC) fluctuations belong to fundamental properties of high-Tc superconductors. Although studied by various experimental techniques the highest temperature at which the superconducting fluctuations can be observed, is not yet unambiguously determined. Thus, an alternative experimental verification of the SC fluctuation regime is desirable. We are proposing a novel approach to microwave conductivity measurements to elucidate the phase diagram of high- Tc. Measurement are performed on a model high-Tc material: HgBa2CuO4+δ. From a set of the single c-axis data for a sample close to optimal doping we can clearly discern the opening of the pseudogap at T*=185 (15) K, the appearance of the superconducting fluctuations at a much lower temperature T’=105 (2) K, and the full transition to the superconducting state at the critical temperature Tc=94.3 K. Thus, with the presently acquired high sensitivity we establish that the superconducting fluctuations extend only to about 10 K above Tc.
