Changing just the axis to a "log scale" one and not the image

I have plotted a matrix newT with the image command
XRange = [0 d*100]
YRange = [0 t*dt]
image(XRange, YRange, newT, 'CDataMapping', 'scaled');
c = colorbar;
colormap('hot')
ylabel(c, 'Temperatur (Celsius)')
xlabel('x-led (cm)')
ylabel('y-led (sekund)')
newT is just a matrix with doubles, representing temperature measured in Celsius. Now, the problem is that y isn't isn't linear nor log scaled, but rather each row in newT represents the state of the system at a time H(t), as defined by the matrix H
H = [0.0033515273388872936 0.0050272910083309407 0.0083788183472182347 ...

How do I specify this on the y-axis, without changing the plot? The reason for a such solution like this is that the whole process is considered at discrete points in time, and I want to have a log y scale. So I'm forced to create this new newT where the nth row of newT is
ceil(1.4^n T(1, :))
that is, the nth row of newT is 1.4^n of the nth of the matrix T. The matrix T contains the state of the system at discrete points in time defined by
linspace(0, 196.4933, dt)
so I have to create this pseudo-log matrix newT to get a good overview of the evolution of the system over time. So what I would want to do is to change the y-axis to represent the time correctly, or find an other method of plotting the matrix T with a logarithmic scale on the y axis.
Is there anything like this in MATLAB?

Does changing the Y-axis tick labels work for you?
For example:
data = rand(10)*100;
image([0 100],[0 100], data, 'CDataMapping', 'scaled');
ylblVals = exp(0:10:100);
ylbls = strsplit(num2str(ylblVals, '%10.2e\n'));
yticklabels(ylbls)
