In this work is presented the microcanonical analysis of the blackbody radiation. In our model the electromagnetic radiation is confined in an isolated container with volume V in which the radiation can not escape, conserving this way its total energy, E. Our goal is to precise the meaning of the Thermodynamic Limit for this system as well as the description of the nonextensive effects of the generalized Planck formula for the spectral density of energy. Our analysis shows the sterility of the intents of finding nonnextensive effects in normal conditions: the traditional description of the blackbody radiation is extraordinarily exact. The nonextensive effects only appear in the low temperature region, however, they are extremely difficult to detect.
