{wiki=Scanning_acoustic_microscope}
A Scanning Acoustic Microscope (SAM) is a specialized imaging tool that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to visualize objects, particularly small-scale samples and materials, at a microscopic level. Unlike traditional optical microscopes that use visible light, SAMs employ ultrasonic waves, which allow for imaging below the resolution limit of light microscopes. \#\#\# Key Features and Principles: - **Principle of Operation**: SAM uses focused ultrasonic waves to probe the sample.
