An ultrasonic microscope comprises an acoustic lens for emitting an ultrasonic beam, a movable shaft for supporting a sample, and a drive circuit for moving the movable shaft and thus the sample relative to the acoustic lens in a z-direction. Two signals for eliminating x-direction and y-direction inclinations of the sample relative to the acoustic lens are supplied to the drive circuit in synchronism with an x-direction drive signal and a y-direction drive signal, so that the sample is moved in the z-direction and scanned with the ultrasonic beam in an x-y direction while the sample inclination sample to the acoustic lens is being eliminated.

An optical data transmission apparatus includes a hole-burning effect element for recording data. Upon transmitting input serial data in a multiplex mode along a single optical fiber, the input serial data are stored in the hole-burning effect element having an inhomogeneous broadening on the light absorption spectrum, and then light transmitted through the hole-burning effect element is transmitted over the optical fiber. At the receiver end, the laser light is divided into a plurality of portions having different wavelengths and these portions are made incident upon a light receiving element array. Alternatively, a reading light pulse is made incident upon the element to generate a single light pulse having the spectrum distribution corresponding to the serial data on the frequency domain, and the light pulse is transmitted to the receiver end to duplicate the light absorption spectrum on a receiver end hole-burning effect element which is irradiated by a reading light pulse to generate light pulses corresponding to the duplicated light absorption spectrum, and these light pulses are successively made incident upon a photodetector to reproduce the input serial data.

A supersonic microscope comprises a container for containing a liquid nitrogen, and an acoustic lens housed in the container to emit a supersonic beam onto the view face of a sample. A volume-variable member is provided in the liquid so that its upper part is extended from the top surface of the liquid. When the observing of the sample, the vertical position of the member is changed for moving the top surface of the liquid nitrogen up and down so that the top surface of the liquid contacts the view face of the sample.
