Abstract
Low frequency transmission scanning acoustic microscopy is capable of revealing voids and delaminations at substantial depths inside a solid material. The technique is demonstrated with reference to the bond between a carbon diamond compound sintered to a steel base. A resolution comparable to the wavelength inside the solid material is achieved.
