Abstract
A lens acoustic microscope is proposed in which a two-dimensional high-frequency ultrasound array is used instead of a single converter. In this microscope, electronic scanning of the region of naturally occurring focus of the acoustic lens can be performed and the focus can be held electronically at different distances, including inside solid objects. It was demonstrated that the multielement microscope has potentially higher performance compared with a single-element scanning microscope and is not inferior in resolution power.
