Abstract

We have developed a working scanning reflection acoustic microscope. In this paper we describe its construction and operation and also present preliminary acoustic micrographs and compare them with equivalent optical and electron micrographs. Our instrument operates at room temperature using 2-GHz acoustic radiation with water as a coupling medium, and has a resolution of approximately 1 μm. We also discuss improvements to be made in future instruments with liquid helium as a coupling medium.
