摘要:
An ultrasonic microscope displays an ultrasonic wave image of a sample (60) relatively and two-dimensionally scanned with respect to an ultrasonic wave beam transmitted from and focused by a transducer including a piezoelectric element (220) and an acoustic lens (200). The F number of the acoustic lens is variably changeable while the scan in one direction of the two-dimensional scan is substituted by a time axis scan of the received echo.
摘要:
Measurement of a non-linear parameter of an acoustic medium, or its distribution, for example for determining the internal temperature of a sample, is carried out noninvasively. A continuous wave ultrasonic probing beam is radiated through the sample, and a pumping wave which is an ultrasonic pulse wave is superposed on the probing beam. Phase changes of the probing beam caused by the pumping wave are detected. From these phase changes the non-linear parameter (B/A) or (B/A) e is obtained. In ohne case the pumping wave intersects the probing beam. In another case the pumping wave is directed along the probing beam, in the opposite direction.

An apparatus for observing a sound field of an ultrasonic wave, including a first unit which determines characteristic values (B/A).) of a medium at each point of a predetermined region by an ultrasonic wave having a sound field of an arbitrary form and a second unit (18) which displays an output of the first unit as two-dimensional or three-dimensional distribution (20) in the predetermined region, enabling control of the form of the sound field (16) of the ultrasonic wave.
摘要:
An ultrasonic transmitter-receiver (16) for radiating a focused ultrasonic beam (39) and a sample (23) are moved relative to each other in the axial direction of the ultrasonic beam. A reflected wave from the sample (23) is received and a curve V(Z) of variations in the level of the reflected wave with respect to the relative movement is obtained. A reference level of interference of a directly reflected wave and a leaky elastic wave is substracted from V(Z) to perform waveform processing. The waveform processing output is subjected to a waveform analysis, and from the analysis results, the velocity and/or the attenuation of the leaky elastic wave are calculated.
摘要:
57 A method and device for detecting a narrow acoustic spectral feature in a sample as described. The method uses an electrical frequency modulated (FM) signal that is obtained from a voltage controlled oscillator 58. The Fourier spectrum of this wave is a main frequency f c with two small sidebands at frequencies f c ±f s . This whole triplet is slowly swept in frequency by a slow sawtooth generator 52. The electrical signal is fed into a flat acoustic transducer 64; the acoustic wave is then transmitted through an acoustically active medium 66, i.e. the sample, and detected by another flat acoustic transducer 70 which produces an FM signal with a superposed amplitude modulated (AM) signal if one of the sideboards overlaps an acoustic feature. This electrical signal is then demodulated to give a pure AM signal which can be phase sensitive detected by using a lock-in amplifier 78. By suitable adjustment of the phase setting of the lock-in amplifier both the "in-phase" and "out-of-phase" signals of the detected acoustic signal can be detected.
摘要:
A system for measuring non-linear parameter B/A of an ultrasonic medium (8) such as a living tissue (namely a value which indicates a rate of change of sound velocity with change of pressure) utilizing reflected ultrasonic waves. The system is operable to provide a measuring burst pulse (W m ) having a comparatively high frequency, and a pumping pulse (Wp) having a comparatively low frequency and a high sound pressure for obtaining a change of pressure in the medium, and to transmit those pulses in the same direction into the medium so they are superposed. The system is operable to detect phase of reflected waves from each region of the ultrasonic medium (8) and to effect differentiation. Thereby distribution of B/A along the transmission direction of the pulses in the medium can be obtained.
