Image resolution of the scanning acoustic microscope

Abstract
We have measured the spatial frequency response of an experimental scanning acoustic microscope (SAM) at 375 MHz, using an acoustic high-resolution reflection test target consisting of Au bars on a silicon substrate. Although the instrument resolves 1.6-μm line detail quite well, in favorable agreement with theoretical predictions, the shape of the spatial frequency response curve differs substantially from expectations.
