PVA TePla OKOS, a Virginia-based manufacturer of industrial ultrasonic non-destructive (NDT) systems, claims to have a solution based on scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM). A non-invasive and ...

New developments in scanning acoustic microscopy, also known as ultrasonic non-destructive testing, position the quality inspection technology for use by manufacturers of all sizes. Most automated ...

Scanning acoustic microscopy, or SAM, is a non-destructive technique used in failure analysis of complex devices. SAM can provide a resolution down to sub-micron thicknesses. SAM is an efficient tool ...

Scanning implementations of photoacoustic microscopy require a sensor to observe every part of the target in a straightforward sequence. One drawback of this approach is that it can take a long time.

Quate’s research had made waves in microscopy. 1978 had seen the announcement of the scanning acoustic microscope, which achieved the sensitivity of optical microscopy but probed samples so softly ...
