Acoustic microscopy and impedance analysis have emerged as pivotal tools in the non‐invasive investigation of biological tissues. By utilising high-frequency sound waves, these techniques deliver ...

The capability of acoustic microscopes to image and analyze internal features, including structural defects, recently has been enhanced by technology that puts any number of acoustic microscopes in ...

Most automated quality inspection technologies involve machine vision systems and, increasingly, aspects of artificial intelligence-powered software to speed the identification of part defects. But ...

Traditional ultrasonic imaging systems usually transmit broadband ultrasonic pulses through the full sample volume under study. By analyzing these pulses, researchers can measure sample thickness, ...

The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded Keji Lai, an associate professor of physics at The University of Texas at Austin, a prestigious Experimental Physics Investigators Initiative grant.

For the best results with SAM systems, pay close attention to both the digitizer characteristics and the signal path. Automated inspection techniques are widely used in the semiconductor industry for ...
