Advances in Acoustic Microscopy: Volume 2

''An outstanding work.'' --The Journal of Scanning Microscopies, January 1998 ''Very well written and illustrated...the subjects selected are of major importance and...the editors (and the authors) have perfomed an outstanding work in presenting in the same volume both fundamental studies and medical or industrial applications.''--- Scanning, 1998 Volume 2 in this key series reviews the newest applications and techniques related to high resolution acoustic imaging.

Chapters describe uses of the acoustic microscope in semiconductor research; a phase-sensitive acoustic microscope; and applications of digital time-reversal mirrors, among other topics. The text is illustrated with 275 halftones, line drawings, and tables. Like its predecessor, this new volume is an invaluable resource for researchers in engineering, materials science, physics, and biology who wish to learn about developments in this burgeoning field.
