Acoustic microscopy

Acoustic microscopy is a high-resolution imaging technique that uses sound waves to examine materials at a microscopic level. Similar to how an ultrasound works for medical imaging, it sends sound waves into a sample and measures how they bounce back. This process helps visualize details that are not visible with traditional optical microscopes, making it valuable in fields such as materials science, biology, and semiconductor manufacturing. By analyzing the returned sound waves, researchers can gain insights into the structure, properties, and defects of materials, enhancing our understanding of their behavior and performance.
