A Method to Improve the Resolution of the Acoustic Microscopy
In this report, we demonstrate a new principle to improve the resolution of the acoustic microscopy, which is based on the sub-wavelength focusing of acoustic wave passing through an acoustically transparent mesoscale particle. In the principle, the width of the acoustic focal area can be less than one wavelength. The sub-wavelength focusing effect is verified by the FEM simulation.
