ACOUSTIC MICROSCOPY FOR MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION

The potential of acoustic microscopy has been demonstrated by imaging and quantitative measurements for materials characterization. The present status and future of acoustic microscopy and its application to materials research, especially focusing on quantitative analyses of materials, are described in this paper.
