Abstract :
We have demonstrated a combined scanning acoustic and optical microscope capable of simultaneously recording acoustic and optical images of the same field of view. The estimated resolution of the optical (6328 Å) and acoustic (550 MHz) images is 2 ¿m, in good agreement with theory. The system is ideally suited to photoacoustic microscopy.
